Answer:

x < 3

Explanation:

Well you want to isolate x so start by subtracting 2x from both equations that way you remove it from the right side and it's only on the left side.

subtract 2x from both equations


3x-4 < 5

add 4 to both equations


3x < 9

divide both sides by 3


x < 3

Answer: x < 3

Explanation:

To solve this inequality, we will simplify and isolate the x variable.

Given:

5x - 4 < 2x + 5

Add 4 to both sides:

5x < 2x + 9

Subtract 2x from both sides:

3x< + 9

Divide both sides by 3:

x < 3
