\frac{9}{5}x+2-5x<3
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-\frac{16}{5}x+2<3
Combine \frac{9}{5}x and -5x to get -\frac{16}{5}x.
-\frac{16}{5}x<3-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
-\frac{16}{5}x<1
Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.
x>1\left(-\frac{5}{16}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{5}{16}, the reciprocal of -\frac{16}{5}. Since -\frac{16}{5} is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>-\frac{5}{16}
Multiply 1 and -\frac{5}{16} to get -\frac{5}{16}.
