Note that $|3-4x| \geq 0$ always.
If $x\not = \tfrac{3}{4}$ then $|3-4x| \not = 0$ and so $|3-4x| > 0$.
We know that $x=\tfrac{3}{4}$ cannot be such a number which makes this true - thus we will look at all other numbers to solve this.

Divide by $|3-4x|$ to get $(x+5)(3x-2)>0$.

Case 1: Both $(x+5),(3x-2) > 0$. This means that $x>-5 \text{ and }x>\tfrac{2}{3}$ this combines into just saying $x>\tfrac{2}{3}$.

Case 2: Both $(x+5),(3x-2) < 0$. This means that $x<-5 \text{ and }x< \tfrac{2}{3}$ this combines into just saying $x < -5$.

This gives us an answer that $x \in (-\infty, -5) \cup (\tfrac{2}{3},\infty)$.

But that is not quite right because remember we said $x\not = \tfrac{3}{4}$. Thus we need to take that point out of this solution set. Thus, the correct answer is $x\in (-\infty,5)\cup (\tfrac{2}{3},\tfrac{3}{4}) \cup (\tfrac{3}{4},\infty)$.
