Hi, you have the right idea  multiplying each term on both sides of the equation by 12 and you have 

the correct answer: however 9x + 15 - 20x + 4 > 6 , the +4 was not written as a -4



3x + 5    5x + 1     1

______ - ________ > ___

   4         3       2

3(3x + 5) - 4(5x+1) > 1/2

9x + 15 -20x - 4 > 6

-11x + 11 > 6

-11x > -5  

Dividing by -11, yes! does change the sign of the inequality

x  < 5/11

You are indeed correct in the answer but your work is incorrect make sure to carry the negative in the distribution if all u needed was answer then u guessed correct, but if u were to review the work u did the answer u would get is  the possitive 4 should be a negative 4 to have 15-4 and not 15+4
