x+3<2x-2-5x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x-1.
x+3<-3x-2
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
x+3+3x<-2
Add 3x to both sides.
4x+3<-2
Combine x and 3x to get 4x.
4x<-2-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
4x<-5
Subtract 3 from -2 to get -5.
x<-\frac{5}{4}
Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
