Answer:

x<1 or x>5

Explanation:

2x -3< -1 or -3x < -15

Solve them separately then put them back together

2x-3 < -1

Add 3 to each side

2x-3+3<-1+3

2x<2

Divide by 2

2x/2 <2/2

x<1

-3x < -15

Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality

-3x/3 > -15/-3

x>5

Put them back together

x<1 or x>5
