Answer:

x < 6.8 or 34/5

Explanation:

The parenthesis on the right side don't affect the inequality in any way so we can get rid of that.

5x – 6 < 2 + 30 – 4

Now we simplify the right side by combining like terms.

5x - 6 < 28

Our goal is to isolate x

Add 6 to both sides

5x < 34

Divide both sides by 5

x < 34/5

x < 6.8
