-4

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).
