3x + 5 < 14 subtract 5 from both sides

3x + 5 - 5 < 14 - 5

3x < 9 Divide both sides by 3


(3x)/(3) <
(9)/(3)

x < 3

Answer:

x<3

Explanation:


3x+5<14

Your first step is to simplify the inequality.

To do this, always look to see if you can subtract any numbers from both sides to isolate a variable.

You can subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the 3x on one side.

After that, you will get 3x<9

Next, you must divide both sides by 3 to try and get x by itself, completing the inequality.

9/3 = 3

Your are left with: x<3

Done!
