5x+20<7x
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+4.
5x+20-7x<0
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-2x+20<0
Combine 5x and -7x to get -2x.
-2x<-20
Subtract 20 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x>\frac{-20}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2. Since -2 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x>10
Divide -20 by -2 to get 10.
