5x<3\left(x+2\right)
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.
5x<3x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+2.
5x-3x<6
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x<6
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
x<\frac{6}{2}
Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x<3
Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.
