Answer:
Let's say a factor in the watercycle is vegetation. Deforestation leads to less vegetation which means less transpiration which affects how the water reenters the atmosphere. In addition, the trees can no longer catch water in their leaves, absorb it, or filter pollutants through their roots before it runs off into say a local body of water.

> 0
First, note that x is undefined at 5. / x ≠ 5
Second, replace the inequality sign with an equal sign so that we can solve it like a normal equation. / Your problem should look like:

= 0
Third, multiply both sides by x - 5. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 5 = 0
Forth, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3x = 5
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: x =
Sixth, from the values of x above, we have these 3 intervals to test:
x <


< x < 5
x > 5
Seventh, pick a test point for each interval.
1. For the interval x <

:
Let's pick x - 0. Then,

> 0
After simplifying, we get 1 > 0 which is true.
Keep this interval.
2. For the interval

< x < 5:
Let's pick x = 2. Then,

> 0
After simplifying, we get -0.3333 > 0, which is false.
Drop this interval.
3. For the interval x > 5:
Let's pick x = 6. Then,

> 0
After simplifying, we get 13 > 0, which is ture.
Keep this interval.
Eighth, therefore, x <

and x > 5
Answer: x <

and x > 5
