2x - 3x < -4 + 5/4
multiply throughout by 4,
-4x < -16 + 5
-4x < -11
x > 11/4

4-5/4< 3x-2x {moved numbers to one side and x to other making sure to change their sign}
2 3/4

2x-3x-5/4+5/4<3x-3x-4+5/4
-x<-2¾
x>2¾
(when you divide or multiply by a negative number you have to switch signs)...this would be the same as:
-x<-2¾
-x+x+2¾<-2¾+2¾+x
2¾
