Question

Solve for x 3x - 5 < 7

Answer 1

Answer:

$x< 4$  or  $(-\infty,\ 4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following inequality

$3x - 5 < 7$

We must solve for the variable x

To solve the inequality, add 5 on both sides of the inequality

$3x - 5 +5 < 7+5$

Now simplify

$3x< 12$

now divide by 3 on both sides of the inequality

$\frac{3}{3}x< \frac{12}{3}$

$x< 4$

The solution is the set of all real numbers that belong to the interval

$(-\infty,\ 4)$

Answer 2

Answer:

x < 4

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x-5$
