%287x%2B5%29%2F-3%3C=2x%2B4
Multiply each side by -3 - Don't forget you need to flip the inequality sign whenever you multiply each side by a negative number.
7x%2B5%3E=-6x-12
Add 6x to both sides:
13x%2B5%3E=-12
Add -5 to both sides:
13x%3E=-17
Divide both sides by 13 and you are done:
highlight%28x%3E=-17%2F13%29

Good Luck,
