5x-30<15-3x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 3,5. Since 15 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
5x-30+3x<15
Add 3x to both sides.
8x-30<15
Combine 5x and 3x to get 8x.
8x<15+30
Add 30 to both sides.
8x<45
Add 15 and 30 to get 45.
x<\frac{45}{8}
Divide both sides by 8. Since 8 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
