-5<x-2x
Subtract 2 from 2 to get 0.
-5<-x
Combine x and -2x to get -x.
-x>-5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.
x<\frac{-5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1. Since -1 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x<5
Fraction \frac{-5}{-1} can be simplified to 5 by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
