see explanation.

Explanation:

x^2-5x<0

Factorising gives.

x(x-5)<0

For the left side to be less than zero, that is color(blue)"negative"

"then "x<0color(red)" and "x-5>0

rArrx<0color(red)" and "x>5larr " impossible"

color(magenta)" OR"

x>0color(red)" and "x-5<0

rArrx>0color(red)" and "x<5

rArr 0 < x < 5 " is the solution"
graph{x^2-5x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
