21+x>5x+5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
21+x-5x>5
Subtract 5x from both sides.
21-4x>5
Combine x and -5x to get -4x.
-4x>5-21
Subtract 21 from both sides.
-4x>-16
Subtract 21 from 5 to get -16.
x<\frac{-16}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4. Since -4 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x<4
Divide -16 by -4 to get 4.
