0-5\left(x+1\right)>2\left(x+3\right)
Anything times zero gives zero.
0-5x-5>2\left(x+3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by x+1.
-5-5x>2\left(x+3\right)
Subtract 5 from 0 to get -5.
-5-5x>2x+6
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+3.
-5-5x-2x>6
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-5-7x>6
Combine -5x and -2x to get -7x.
-7x>6+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-7x>11
Add 6 and 5 to get 11.
x<-\frac{11}{7}
Divide both sides by -7. Since -7 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
