Solve the inequality 2(k+5)>322(k+5)>32 for the value of kk.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are solving the inequality (k+5)>32(k+5)>32 for the variable kk. . The operations of addition, multiplication, and division are allowed in inequalities, similar to equalities, with one exception when we multiply or divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes.

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the2 to both terms inside the parentheses.
2(k+5)=2k+252(k+5) =2k +2 \cdot5

STEP 3

Calculate the multiplication.
2k+25=2k+102k +2 \cdot5 =2k +10

STEP 4

Now, substitute this back into the inequality.
2k+10>322k +10 >32

STEP 5

To isolate kk, we first subtract10 from both sides of the inequality.
2k+1010>32102k +10 -10 >32 -10

STEP 6

Calculate the subtraction.
2k>3210=222k >32 -10 =22

STEP 7

Now, divide both sides of the inequality by2 to solve for kk.
2k2>222\frac{2k}{2} > \frac{22}{2}

STEP 8

Calculate the division.
k>222=11k > \frac{22}{2} =11So, the solution to the inequality 2(k+5)>322(k+5)>32 is k>11k >11.
