5t%2B1%3E3t-13 Start with the given inequality.


5t%3E3t-13-1 Subtract 1 from both sides.


5t-3t%3E-13-1 Subtract 3t from both sides.


2t%3E-13-1 Combine like terms on the left side.


2t%3E-14 Combine like terms on the right side.


t%3E%28-14%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate t.


t%3E-7 Reduce.
