Using the formula revenue = price x number sold, we see that the revenue is x(65 - 5x), and we create the inequality:

x(65 - 5x) > 150

65x - 5x^2 - 150 > 0

Multiplying the inequality by -1, we have:

5x^2 - 65x + 150 < 0

x^2 - 13x + 30 < 0

(x - 3)(x - 10) < 0

We see that if 3 < x < 10, then (x - 3)(x - 10) would be negative, i.e., less than 0.
