Answer:

x < - 15

Explanation:

Given

-
(2)/(5) x + 14 > 20 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

-
(2)/(5) x > 6 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

- 2x > 30

Divide both sides by - 2, reversing the inequality symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity.

x < - 15

solution set is x ∈ (- ∞, - 15)
