4x%2B5%3C2%28x-1%29 Start with the given inequality.


4x%2B5%3C2x-2 Distribute.


4x%3C2x-2-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


4x-2x%3C-2-5 Subtract 2x from both sides.


2x%3C-2-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3C-7 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%28-7%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.
