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