3\times 3x<5\left(2x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 5,3. Since 15 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
9x<5\left(2x+1\right)
Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.
9x<10x+5
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by 2x+1.
9x-10x<5
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-x<5
Combine 9x and -10x to get -x.
x>-5
Divide both sides by -1. Since -1 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
