Answer:


\Huge\boxed{\mathsf{\longrightarrow X>5}}

Explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, do parenthesis.

4(2+3)

Add.

3+2=5

Multiply.

4*5=20

Rewrite the equation problem.

x+20<5x

Secondly, subtract 20 from both sides.

x+20-20<5x-20

Solve.

x<5x-20

Thirdly, subtract 5x from both sides.

x-5x<5x-20-5x

Solve.

5-1=4

-4x<-20

Then, multiply -1 from both sides.

(-4x)(-1)>(-20)(-1)

Solve.

(-4x)(-1)=4x

(-20)(-1)=20

4x>20

Divide by 4 from both sides.

4x/4>20/4

Solve.

20/4=5

x>5


\Large\boxed{\mathsf{\Rightarrow X>5}}}

The solutions is 5, therefore, the correct answer is x>5.
