Answer: x < 2
Explanation: To solve for <em>x</em> in this inequality, our goal is the same as it would be if this were an equation, to get <em>x</em> by itself on one side.
Since 3 is being subtracted from <em>x</em>, we add 3
to both sides of the inequality to get <em>x < 2</em>.
Before we graph, write your answer in set notation.
We can write this as {x: x < 2}.
It's important to understand what this means.
This means that any number less than 2 is a solution to this inequality.
I have graphed the inequality for you below.
Start with an open dot on +2.
We use an open dot because +2 is not included as a solution.
Then draw an arrow going to the left.
