5x-3-2\left(1+2x\right)<8\left(1-3x\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 4,2. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
5x-3-2-4x<8\left(1-3x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 1+2x.
5x-5-4x<8\left(1-3x\right)
Subtract 2 from -3 to get -5.
x-5<8\left(1-3x\right)
Combine 5x and -4x to get x.
x-5<8-24x
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 1-3x.
x-5+24x<8
Add 24x to both sides.
25x-5<8
Combine x and 24x to get 25x.
25x<8+5
Add 5 to both sides.
25x<13
Add 8 and 5 to get 13.
x<\frac{13}{25}
Divide both sides by 25. Since 25 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
