You solve an inequality just like an equation. The only difference is that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.


Begin with the given inequality:
2x%2B5%3C2%2B3x


The first thing you want to do is get the variable on one side, so subtract 2x from both sides:
5%3C2%2Bx


Now, subtract 2 from both sides:
3%3Cx


So your answer is: x%3E3
