Answer and Step-by-step explanation:


Hello!


Let's~solve~you~equation!


First,~divide~both~sides`by~5 , so~5(x + 5)/5 < 85/5
which~will~give~you~x + 5 < 17 ,~then~minus~5~from~both~sides
which~should~give~you~x < 12 .

Here's how I did it:


Given~inequality: 5(x + 5) < 85


Here~we~have~to~solve~for~
~to~isolated~the~variable~and~constant~we~will~have~to~do~the~following
methods:

Step 1: Divide both side by 5, we get:


x + 5 < 85/5


x + 5 < 17

Step 2: Subtract 5 on both sides, we get;


x + 5 - 5 < 17 - 5


x < 12

In solution set, we can write it as (-∞, 12)
