EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Flat cost= $56/month

Variable cost= $4/gigabyte

Total bill = $70

Let x be the number of consumed gigabytes, the inequality is:

[INEQUALITY] 56 + 4x < 70

Now, solving for x:

Subtracting -56 to both sides:

4x < 70 - 56

Adding like terms:

4x < 14

Dividing both sides by 4:

x < 14/4

Simplifying:

x < 3.5

So, the answer is x<
