A solution to -5(x - 2) > 15 begins by writing x - 2 > -3. What correction is needed?
A
It should be x + 2 > -3 because the parentheses change sign.
B
The step is correct because division never changes an inequality sign.
C
It should be x - 2 > 3 because 15/(-5) = 3.
D
It should be x - 2 < -3 because dividing by -5 reverses the sign.
