Answer:

[tex]x>\frac{-38}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Five times the sum of a number and 15 is greater than 37.

Let x be the unknown number

5 times sum of x  and 15 is greater than 37

[tex]5 (x+15)> 37[/tex]

distribute 5 inside the parenthesis

[tex]5x+75>37[/tex]

Subtract 75 from both sides

[tex]5x>-38[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5

[tex]x>\frac{-38}{5}[/tex]
