2-5x>3-3x-3
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x+1.
2-5x>-3x
Subtract 3 from 3 to get 0.
2-5x+3x>0
Add 3x to both sides.
2-2x>0
Combine -5x and 3x to get -2x.
-2x>-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x<\frac{-2}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2. Since -2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x<1
Divide -2 by -2 to get 1.
