Learn how to solve inequalities problems step by step online. Solve the inequality x^2+4x+-5<0. Moving the term -5 to the other side of the inequation with opposite sign. Add the values 0 and 5. Factor the polynomial x^2+4x. Add and subtract \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2, replacing b by it's value 4. Now, we can factor x^2+4x+4 as a squared binomial of the form \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^2.
