Isolate the x. Subtract 3x from both sides, and add 4 to both sides
-2x (-3x) - 4 (+4) < 3x (-3x) + 21 (+4)
-2x - 3x < 21 + 4
Simplify. Combine like terms
-5x < 25
Isolate the x. Divide -5 from both sides (remember to flip the sign).
-5x/-5 < 25/-5
x > 25/-5
x > -5
x > -5 is your answer
hope this helps
