Answer

$d <-10 $ or $d > 0$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} -2|d+5|<-10. \end{aligned} \end{equation} The inequality can be rewritten as: \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} -2|d+5|&<-10\\ |d+5|&>5. \end{aligned} \end{equation} This an absolute value inequality. The solution is two fold. Solve each of the following inequalities. \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} d+5&>5\\ d&>0\\ \textbf{or}\\ d+5&<-5\\ d&<-5-5\\ d&<-10. \end{aligned} \end{equation} The solution is $d <-10 $ or $d > 0$.
