(E) x > 1/6

GIVEN: $$\frac{3 - 5x}{2} + 4 < \frac{x + 2}{3}$$

Multiply both sides by 6 to get: $$3(3 - 5x) + 24 < 2(x + 2)$$

Expand both sides by 6 to get: $$9 - 15x + 24 < 2x + 4$$

Simplify left side to get: $$-15x + 33 < 2x + 4$$

Add 15x to both sides to get: $$33 < 17x + 4$$

Subtract 4 from both sides to get: $$29 < 17x$$

Divide both sides by 17 to get: $$29/17 < x$$
