Simplify left side:
14x-6%3C12x%2B16
Get all x terms alone on one side of inequality.
Add -12x to both sides of inequality:
14x-6-12x%3C12x%2B16-12x
Simplify x terms:
2x-6%3C16
Add 6 to both sides of inequality:
2x-6%2B6%3C16%2B6
Simplify:
2x%3C22
Divide each side by 2 to get x alone and you are done!
