5\left(2x-1\right)-3\left(5x-1\right)<0
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.
10x-5-3\left(5x-1\right)<0
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2x-1.
10x-5-15x+3<0
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by 5x-1.
-5x-5+3<0
Combine 10x and -15x to get -5x.
-5x-2<0
Add -5 and 3 to get -2.
-5x<2
Add 2 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x>-\frac{2}{5}
Divide both sides by -5. Since -5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
