Answer:

x > -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x-3<5

    +3 +3

-2x<8

/-2   /-2

x>-4

Basically, you subtract -3 from both sides to isolate -2x. Now the equation should be -2x<8. You divide by -2 on both sides to isolate the variable (x) and you should end up with x<-4. You flip the sign because you divided by a negative number. You should end up with x>-4.
