4x%2B3%3C5x%2B6 Start with the given inequality.


4x%3C5x%2B6-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


4x-5x%3C6-3 Subtract 5x from both sides.


-x%3C6-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x%3C3 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%283%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E-3 Reduce.
