"Six times a number less 5 is less than two times a number plus 7. For what number or numbers is this true?"

x = the number

6x - 5 < 2x + 7 {six times a number less 5 is less than two times a number plus 7}
6x < 2x + 12 {added 5 to both sides}
4x < 12 {subtracted 2x from both sides}
x < 3 {divided both sides by 4}

= any number less than 3
