2x-5<5x+5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
2x-5-5x<5
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-3x-5<5
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
-3x<5+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-3x<10
Add 5 and 5 to get 10.
x>-\frac{10}{3}
Divide both sides by -3. Since -3 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
