-3x+5<12x-40
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 3x-10.
-3x+5-12x<-40
Subtract 12x from both sides.
-15x+5<-40
Combine -3x and -12x to get -15x.
-15x<-40-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-15x<-45
Subtract 5 from -40 to get -45.
x>\frac{-45}{-15}
Divide both sides by -15. Since -15 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>3
Divide -45 by -15 to get 3.
