Answer

No, it does not make sense.

Work Step by Step

Consider the given equation. $5-3\left( x+2 \right)>10x$ Solve the left side of the above equation. $\begin{align} & 5-3\left( x+2 \right)>10x \\ & 5-3x-6>10x \\ & -3x-1>10x \end{align}$ This shows that the obtained simple form$-3x-1>10x$ is not equal to the given simple form$2x+4>10x$. Thus, the given statement does not make sense.
