5x-1<2x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-3.
5x-1-2x<-6
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x-1<-6
Combine 5x and -2x to get 3x.
3x<-6+1
Add 1 to both sides.
3x<-5
Add -6 and 1 to get -5.
x<-\frac{5}{3}
Divide both sides by 3. Since 3 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
