7\left(2x+3\right)<3\left(3x+5\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 21, the least common multiple of 3,7. Since 21 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
14x+21<3\left(3x+5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by 2x+3.
14x+21<9x+15
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 3x+5.
14x+21-9x<15
Subtract 9x from both sides.
5x+21<15
Combine 14x and -9x to get 5x.
5x<15-21
Subtract 21 from both sides.
5x<-6
Subtract 21 from 15 to get -6.
x<-\frac{6}{5}
Divide both sides by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
