-5%28x-5%29%3C30 Start with the given inequality



-5x%2B25%3C30 Distribute


-5x%3C30-25Subtract 25 from both sides


-5x%3C5 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3E%285%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



x%3E-1 Divide

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x%3E-1
