My take -A

After looking at the solution.. i started laughing on myself..

I started to take integers and fractions in the negative and positive space.. took 1 min 20 sec..


But this can be solved using inequalities

Is X positive?

(1) 15X > 16X --> 0 > X
X is clearly negative
SUFFICIENT

(2) X + 15 > 0 --> X>-15
X can be either negative (i.e. -5) or positive (i.e. 5)
NOT SUFFICIENT

Answer is (A)
