Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{11 + 5x < 26}`

`\mathsf{5x + 11 < 26}`

`\large\textbf{Subtract 11 to both sides:}`

`\mathsf{5x + 11 - 11 < 26 - 11}`

`\large\textbf{Simplify it}`

`\mathsf{5x < 26 - 11}`

`\mathsf{5x < 15}`

`\large\textbf{Divide 5 to both sides}`

`\mathsf{(5x)/(5) < (15)/(5)}`

`\large\textbf{Simplify it}`

`\mathsf{x < (15)/(5)}`

`\mathsf{x < 3}`

`\large\textbf{You have an \boxed{\rm{\bf o p e n e d}} circle shaded to the left}`
