-ax+3b \ \textgreater \ 5\ \ \ |subtract\ 3b\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-ax \ \textgreater \ 5-3b\ \ \ \ |change\ signs\\\\ax \ \textless \ 3b-5\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ a \ \textgreater \ 0\\\\\boxed{x \ \textless \ (3b-5)/(a)}\\\\-ax \ \textgreater \ 5-3b\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-a)\\\\\boxed{x \ \textless \ (5-3b)/(-a)\to x \ \textless \ (-3b+5)/(-a) }
