Let x be the unknown number.
7x + 668 < 2000 => 7x plus 668 is less than 2000
where:
7x => x represents the number of cans to be collected in 7 days
668 is the number of cans already collected.
2000 is the target number of cans.
7x + 668 < 2000
<u> - 668 -668</u>
7x < 1332
<u>÷7 ÷7</u>
x < 190.30
or
x < 190
To check:
7x + 668 < 2000
7(190) + 668 < 2000
1330 + 668 < 2000
1998 < 2000
