To solve the inequality \(-5x < 19\), follow these steps:
1. **Isolate the variable \(x\)**:
- To do this, divide both sides of the inequality by -5. Remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.
\[
x > \frac{19}{-5}
\]
2. **Simplify**:
- Calculate \(\frac{19}{-5}\):
\[
x > -\frac{19}{5}
\]
3. **Final Result**:
- The solution is:
\[
x > -3.8
\]
So the solution to the inequality \(-5x < 19\) is \(x > -3.8\).
