Solve : x + 5 > 4x – 10

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} x\text{ }+\text{ }5\text{ }>\text{ }4x\text{ }-\text{ }10  \\ x\text{ }+\text{ }5\text{ }-\text{ }5\text{ }>\text{ }4x\text{ }-\text{ }10\text{ }-\text{ }5  \\ x\text{ }>\text{ }4x\text{ }-\text{ }15  \\ 4x\text{ }-\text{ }15\text{ }<\text{ }x  \\ 4x\text{ }-\text{ }15\text{ }-\text{ }x\text{ }<\text{ }x\text{ }-\text{ }x  \\ 3x\text{ }-\text{ }15\text{ }<\text{ }0  \\ 3x\text{ }-\text{ }15\text{ }+\text{ }15\text{ }<\text{ }0\text{ }+\text{ }15  \\ 3x\text{ }<\text{ }15  \\ \end{array}\]

Dividing both sides by 3, we get

   

∴ The solution of the given inequation is (-∞, 5).
