Given,

2+4x<2x53x2+4x<2x5 and 2x53x4x2x<52 and 2x3x52x<7 and x5x<72 and x55x<722 + 4x \lt 2x - 5 \le 3x\\[0.5em] \Rightarrow 2 + 4x \lt 2x - 5 \text{ and } 2x - 5 \le 3x \\[0.5em] \Rightarrow 4x - 2x \lt - 5 - 2 \text{ and } 2x - 3x \le 5\\[0.5em] \Rightarrow 2x \lt -7 \text{ and } -x \le 5\\[0.5em] \Rightarrow x \lt -\dfrac{7}{2} \text{ and } x \ge -5\\[0.5em] \Rightarrow -5\le x \lt -\dfrac{7}{2}

Since x ∈ Z,

∴ Solution set = {-5, -4}.

The graph of the solution set is shown by thick dots on the number line.
