5\left(x-3\right)>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-15>3\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-3.
5x-15>3x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-2.
5x-15-3x>-6
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2x-15>-6
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
2x>-6+15
Add 15 to both sides.
2x>9
Add -6 and 15 to get 9.
x>\frac{9}{2}
Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
