Start by writing down the two inequalities separately: \( \frac{x}{3} > 2 \) and \( 4x + 1 < 5 \).
Solve the first inequality \( \frac{x}{3} > 2 \) by multiplying both sides by 3 to isolate \( x \): \( x > 2 \times 3 \).
Solve the second inequality \( 4x + 1 < 5 \) by first subtracting 1 from both sides: \( 4x < 5 - 1 \), then dividing both sides by 4 to isolate \( x \): \( x < \frac{4}{4} \).
Since the compound inequality uses 'or', the solution is the union of the two solution sets: \( x > 6 \) or \( x < 1 \).
Express the solution in interval notation by combining the intervals for \( x < 1 \) and \( x > 6 \) as \( (-\infty, 1) \cup (6, \infty) \).
