Answer:

In order to satisfy the inequality x has to be less than 7/12.

Explanation:

The inequality is 1/4 + x < 5/6 in order to solve this inequality we need to isolate the value of x, that is our variable of interest. This is shown bellow:

1/4 + x < 5/6

x < 5/6 - 1/4

Applying LMC to subtract the fractions we have:

x < (2*5 - 3*1)/12

x < (10 - 3)/12

x< 7/12

In order to satisfy the inequality x has to be less than 7/12.
