Answer: x<5

Step-by-step explanation: Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :

6 6 • 5

6 = — = —————

1 5

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

6 • 5 + 2x 2x + 30

—————————— = ———————

5 5

Multiply both sides by 5

6.2 Divide both sides by -2

Remember to flip the inequality sign:

Add 5 to both sides

x < 5
