Answer: x<-5

Explanation:

First, we must isolate x in order to graph the inequality properly. To solve for x, you must divide each side by -3. Because you are dividing by a negative number, you must switch the side around. So, the inequality would be
x<-5t.To graph this, you must put a veritcal dotted line (since the equation has a less than symbol) and shade to the left (this shows all the possiblilties of what x could be. Or, if you were to graph it on a number line, put an open circle on -5 and draw an arrow left from the dot. Hope this helps!
