We'll solve the system of the inequalities in this way:
-4 < 5-3x (1)
5-3x < 20 (2)
We'll solve the first inequality, by isolating to one side the unknown. For this reason, we'll subtract 5 both sides:
-4-5<-5+5-3x
-9<-3x
We'll divide by -3, changing the direction of the inequality:
x<3
We'll solve now the inequality (2):
5-3x < 20 (2)
We'll subtract 5 both sides:
5-5-3x<20-5
-3x<15
We'll divide by -3, changing the direction of the inequality:
x>-5
So, for the double inequality to hold, x has to have values in the interval (-5,3).
