#x<1#

We can manipulate inequalities in a way similar to equations. We just have to watch out because some operations flip the inequality sign.

However, in this case, there is nothing we need to worry about, and we can simply divide both sides by #2# to solve the inequality:

#(cancel2x)/cancel2<2/2#

#x<1#

#x <1#

Given: #2x <2#

Divide 2 from both sides ( since 2 is a positive number, inequality sign won't flip)

#(2x)/color (red)(2)<2/color(red)(2)#

#x<1#
