Please read the explanation.

Explanation:

#" "#
The relational expression #color(red)(x<5# represents all values less than #color(red)(5# all the way to #color(red)(-oo#.

Hene, the solution is : #color(red)([-oo<=x<5]#

The graph on the number line is below:

The Open circle at the value of #color(red)(+5# on the x-axis indicates that the value #color(red)(+5# is NOT a solution to the problem.

Hope it helps.
