Answer:

Numbers in the solution set of this problem = ( -5, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Two-fifths of one less than a number $=\frac{2}{5}(x-1)$

Three-fifths of one more than a number $=\frac{3}{5}(x+1)$

We have two-fifths of one less than a number is less than three-fifths of one more than that number

That is

$\frac{2}{5}(x-1)-5$

Numbers in the solution set of this problem = ( -5, ∞)
