5\left(x-1\right)+2\left(2x+3\right)<60
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 2,5. Since 10 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
5x-5+2\left(2x+3\right)<60
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-1.
5x-5+4x+6<60
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2x+3.
9x-5+6<60
Combine 5x and 4x to get 9x.
9x+1<60
Add -5 and 6 to get 1.
9x<60-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
9x<59
Subtract 1 from 60 to get 59.
x<\frac{59}{9}
Divide both sides by 9. Since 9 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
