4x-5x>3x+2

$\displaystyle 4x-5x>3x+2$

Subtract: $\displaystyle -1x>3x+2$

Add 1x to both sides: $\displaystyle 0>4x+2$

Subtract 2 from both sides: $\displaystyle -2>4x$

Divide both sides by 4: $\displaystyle \frac{-2}{4}>x$

$\displaystyle -x>3x+2$
$\displaystyle -2>3x+x$
$\displaystyle -2>4x$
$\displaystyle \frac{-2}{4}>x$
$\displaystyle \frac{-1}{2}>x$
$\displaystyle => x<\frac{-1}{2}$

Hope this helps

How would this help? The question was asked 9 months ago and you didn't really change anything from what Quick posted?? (Except to add a few steps, which if the original poster didn't understand they would've posted their question by now...)

You're right. But I must say that the timestamps on these posts are too small to notice on the first glimpse.
