2x-5<3x+3
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3. Since 3 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
2x-5-3x<3
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-x-5<3
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x<3+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-x<8
Add 3 and 5 to get 8.
x>-8
Divide both sides by -1. Since -1 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
