Which answers are elements of the solution set of the inequality ? check all that apply
x-72> -96
a.-25
b.-80
c.-28
d.14
e.23
f.-24 ? ?

First, transpose the constants to the right side just like an ordinary equation, but leave the inequality sign as it is. That becomes

x - 72 > -96
x > -96 + 72
x > -24

Thus, just check among the choices which are greater than -24. The answers would be D and E.
