x-5>4x
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x-5-4x>0
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-3x-5>0
Combine x and -4x to get -3x.
-3x>5
Add 5 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x<-\frac{5}{3}
Divide both sides by -3. Since -3 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
