To solve for x, divide both sides of the inequality by -3:

x > -9

The graph of the solution on the number line would show all values that are greater than -9.
Solve the inequality and graph the solution on the line provided.

To solve for x, first combine like terms:

-20 + 5x < -30

This simplifies to:

5x < -10

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 5:

x < -2

The graph of the solution on the number line would show all values that are less than -2.
