Answer

$\text{the interval } \left( 2,\infty \right) $

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of inequality, the solution to the given inequality, $ \dfrac{3(x-2)}{5}\gt\dfrac{-5(x-2)}{3} ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 15\cdot\dfrac{3(x-2)}{5}\gt\dfrac{-5(x-2)}{3}\cdot 15 \\\\ 3\cdot3(x-2) \gt -5(x-2)\cdot 5 \\\\ 9x-18 \gt -25x+50 \\\\ 34x \gt 68 \\\\ x \gt \dfrac{68}{34} \\\\ x \gt 2 .\end{array} In interval notation, the solution is $ \text{the interval } \left( 2,\infty \right) .$
