Answer:

x < -3

Explanation:

Switch sides

-5x > 15

Multiply both sides by: -1 (reverse the inequality)

(-5x)(-1) < 15 (-1)

Simplify

5x < -15

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 < -15/5

Simplify: 5x/5

Divide the numbers: 5/5 = 1

= x

Simplify: -15/5

Apply the fraction rule: -a/b = a/b

= -15/5

Divide the numbers: 15/5 = 3

= -3

x < -3

Hope This Helps!
