    A. x > - 2.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -3 (x - 3) > 5 - 5x

    -3x + 9 > 5 - 5x Subtract 9 from both sides and add 5x to both sides:

    -3x + 5x = 5 - 9

    2x > - 4

    x > - 2.

    x >-2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -3 (x - 3) > 5 - 5x

    Distribute

    -3x + 9 > 5-5x

    Add 5x to each side

    -3x + 9+5x > 5-5x+5x

    2x + 9> 5

    Subtract 9 from each side

    2x+9-9>5-9

    2x > - 4

    Divide each side by 2

    2x/2 >-4/2

    x >-2
