Answer:

X > - 7.5

Explanation:

1/X + 1/3 < 1/5

1/X + 1/3 < 1/5

Step one:collect like terms

1/X < 1/5 -1/3

Step two: Find the L.C.M of the R.H.S which is 15

1/X < 3-5/15

1/X < -2/15

1/X < -2/15

Step three: Take the reciprocal of both sides.

X < 15/-2

Dividing through by -2 changes the inequality sign, Hence

X > -7.5
