See solution process below

Explanation:

First, we have to transpose terms in order to leave x alone

5-x>3 it's the same 5-3>x; that it's the same 2>x

The solution are all numbers x lower than 2. This the interval (-oo,2). The side in 2 is "open=parenthesis" because 2 is not included in the solution: the numbers must be lower than 2 but not equal to 2
