Given the inequality:
$$2 x + 5 < -9$$
To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation:
$$2 x + 5 = -9$$
Solve:
Given the linear equation:
2*x+5 = -9
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = -14$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 2
x = -14 / (2)
$$x_{1} = -7$$
$$x_{1} = -7$$
This roots
$$x_{1} = -7$$
is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression.
First define with the sign to the leftmost point:
$$x_{0} < x_{1}$$
For example, let's take the point
$$x_{0} = x_{1} - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$-7 + - \frac{1}{10}$$
=
$$- \frac{71}{10}$$
substitute to the expression
$$2 x + 5 < -9$$
$$\frac{\left(-71\right) 2}{10} + 5 < -9$$
-46/5 < -9
the solution of our inequality is:
$$x < -7$$
