x-5>4x-14
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x-5-4x>-14
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-3x-5>-14
Combine x and -4x to get -3x.
-3x>-14+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-3x>-9
Add -14 and 5 to get -9.
x<\frac{-9}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3. Since -3 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x<3
Divide -9 by -3 to get 3.
