-2x-1<3x
To find the opposite of 2x+1, find the opposite of each term.
-2x-1-3x<0
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-5x-1<0
Combine -2x and -3x to get -5x.
-5x<1
Add 1 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x>-\frac{1}{5}
Divide both sides by -5. Since -5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
