Answer:
x > 2.
The solution in interval notation is (2, ∞).
Explanation:
2x - (x + 5) < 3x - 9
2x - x - 5 < 3x - 9
2x - x - 3x < -9 + 5
-2x < -4
Divide both sides by -2
x > 2 (Note that the sign flips because we are dividing by a negative)
x > 2
x - 5 < 3x - 9
x - 5 + 5 < 3x - 9 + 5
x < 3x - 4
x - 3x < 3x - 4 - 3x
(-2x)(-1) > (-4)(-1)
2x > 4
2x/2 > 4/2
