Solve for x -5x+20<5

$- 5 x + 20 < 5$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the inequality.

Subtract $20$ from both sides of the inequality.

$- 5 x < 5 - 20$

Subtract $20$ from $5$ .

$- 5 x < - 15$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 5 x < - 15$ by $- 5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 5 x < - 15$ by $- 5$ . When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative value, flip the direction of the inequality sign.

$\frac{- 5 x}{- 5} > \frac{- 15}{- 5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 5 x}{- 5} > \frac{- 15}{- 5}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x > \frac{- 15}{- 5}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 15$ by $- 5$ .

$x > 3$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:

$x > 3$

Interval Notation:
