Question

How do you solve for `x` in `2x - 3 < 11`?

Answer 1

x<7

Explanation:

In this case, you can treat an inequality as if it's an equals sign- So you can solve for `x` as if you were doing it in an equality.

The goal here is to get `x` all alone.

Let's start with the given inequality:
`2x-3<11`
We can add `3` on both sides:
`2x<14`
Now, we can divide by `2` on each side to solve for `x`:
`x<7`

This means that the inequality will be true for all `x` less than (But not equal to!) 7.
