\large\textbf{Hey there!}


\mathbf{-5x < 2}\\\\\huge\textbf{DIVIDE -5 to BOTH SIDES}\\\mathbf{(-5)/(-5) < (2)/(-5)}\\\huge\textbf{CANCEL out: }\huge\boxed{\mathbf{(-5)/(-5)}}\huge\textbf{ because it give you 1}\\\huge\textbf{KEEP: }\huge\boxed{\mathbf{(2)/(-5)}}\huge\textbf{ because it help what is being}\\\huge\textbf{compared to the x-value}\\\large\textbf{NEW EQUATION: x }\mathbf{ > (2)/(-5)}\\\\\huge\textbf{SIMPLIFY IT!}


\huge\textbf{Thus, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{x > - (2)/(5)}}}\huge\checkmark


\large\textbf{Good luck on your assignment \&amp; enjoy your day!}
