3x+2<1-2x-10
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+5.
3x+2<-9-2x
Subtract 10 from 1 to get -9.
3x+2+2x<-9
Add 2x to both sides.
5x+2<-9
Combine 3x and 2x to get 5x.
5x<-9-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
5x<-11
Subtract 2 from -9 to get -11.
x<-\frac{11}{5}
Divide both sides by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
