Five more than twice a number is less than negative thirteen. Find all numbers that make this statement true.

x < - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for your word problem would be 2x + 5 < - 13.

Start by subtracting 5 from each side to isolate the x. Now we have 2x < - 18

Since both sides are divisible by 2, now divide them each by two to get x < - 9

x < - 9 is the final answer.
