Answer:

x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial inequality is:

5(x + 8) < 75

First, we need to divide both sides by 5, so:


\begin{gathered} (5(x+8))/(5)<(75)/(5) \\ x+8<15 \end{gathered}

Then, subtract 8 from both sides:

x + 8 - 8 < 15 - 8

x < 7

So, the solution to the inequality is x < 7
