Simplify: (3x+8)/5 > 2x + 1

  1. Multiply both sides by 5: 3x + 8 > 10 x + 5
  2. Move 3x to RHS by subtracting 3x from both sides: 8 > 7x + 5
  3. Move 5 to LHS by subtracting 5 from both sides: 3 > 7x
  4. Make the coefficient of x equal 1 by dividing both sides by 7: 3/7 > x
  5. Therefore, x<3/7
