4x-5%3C=5x Start with the given inequality.


4x%3C=5x%2B5 Add 5 to both sides.


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


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


x%3E=%285%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=-5 Reduce.
