Did I do this correctly?
2+3(x - 4) < 3(2x - 5)
5(x - 4) < 3(2x - 5)....NO WHAT YOU DID AMOUNTS TO (2+3)(X-4)..BUT IT IS 2 + 3(X-4)
HENCE IT IS....2+3X-12<6X-15
-6X+3X<-15+12-2
-3X<-5
3X>5.NOTE THAT INEQUALITY GETS REVERSED WHEN MULTIPLIED BY A NEGATIVE NUMBER..HERE IT IS -1 WE ARE MULTIPLYING WITH
X>5/3
5x - 20 < 6x - 15
X < 5
