Clear denominators (LCM 12), simplify, and flip the inequality when dividing by a negative.

Multiply both sides by 1212 (LCM of 4 and 3):

12(5x4)−12(4x−13)>12(1)12\left(\dfrac{5x}{4}\right)-12\left(\dfrac{4x-1}{3}\right)>12(1)

15x−4(4x−1)>1215x-4(4x-1)>12

15x−16x+4>1215x-16x+4>12

−x+4>12-x+4>12

−x>8-x>8

x<−8x<-8 (dividing by −1-1 reverses the inequality).

Solution set: {x∈R:x<−8}=(−∞,−8)\{x\in\mathbb{R}: x<-8\}=(-\infty,-8).
