12x%2B5%3C=30-2x Start with the given inequality



12x%3C=30-2x-5Subtract 5 from both sides


12x%2B2x%3C=30-5 Add 2x to both sides


14x%3C=30-5 Combine like terms on the left side


14x%3C=25 Combine like terms on the right side


x%3C=%2825%29%2F%2814%29 Divide both sides by 14 to isolate x

Answer:
So our answer is x%3C=25%2F14 (which is approximately x%3C=1.78571 in decimal form)
