Question

Solve x - 5 < -2 solve as an equality

Answer 1

x < 3

Explanation:

The points in inequalities like these is to get x by itself. This being said, since 5 is being subtracted from x, we need to add 5. Whenever you do this, you need to add to both sides. The 5 being added to the -5 will cancel out. -2+5 is 3. Now the equation remains as x < 3

Hope this helps!!!
