Hi
solving the inequality:(Isolating x on one side of the Inequality)
5 + 3x < 7
3x < 2 |Subtracting 5 from each side of the Inequality
x < 2/3 |Dividing each side of the Inquality by 3
Graphing on a number line would be an 'open' ended arrow extending to the left,
from the point 2/3. (that is 2/3 not included due to the < sign)
