We need x all by itself on one side of the inequality sign.
4%2F5-3x%3C0 take 4/5 away from both sides because it doesn't have an x.
-4%2F5%2B4%2F5-3x%3C0-4%2F5
-3x%3C-4%2F5 Multiply both sides by -1/3 to get rid of the -3, WHENEVER you multiply OR divide by a NEGATIVE number FLIP the inequality sign.
%28-1%2F3%29%28-3x%29%3E%28-1%2F3%29%28-4%2F5%29
%283%2F3%29x%3E4%2F15
highlight%28x%3E4%2F15%29
Happy Calculating!!!
