5x - (x + 2) > -5(1 + x) + 3

Removing parentheses and distributing

5x - x - 2 > -5*1 + (-5)*x + 3

4x - 2 > -5 - 5x + 3

4x - 2 > -2 - 5x

5x is subtracting on the right, then it will add on the left

4x -2 + 5x > -2

9x - 2 > -2

2 is subtracting on the left, then it will add on the right

9x > -2 + 2

9x > 0

9 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right

x > 0/9

x > 0

Every x greater than zero is a solution, like for example 1, 2, 10, etc.
