Question 505229: what are the conditions when a sum of a positive number and several negative numbers will be positive

Let the positive number be a and the negative numbers be b, c, d, e.

a + b + c + d + e > 0
a > -b - c - d - e

The number "a" has to be larger than the negative sum of the other four numbers.
