Final answer:
To solve the inequality x - 3 < 14, add 3 to both sides to isolate x and obtain x < 17. The solution is all real numbers less than 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the inequality x - 3 < 14, we need to isolate x by adding 3 to both sides of the inequality:
x - 3 + 3 < 14 + 3
x < 17
The solution to this inequality is all real numbers less than 17. We can graph this solution on a number line by plotting an open circle at 17 and shading the region to the left of 17.
