You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"5-x%3C6\"$ Start with the given inequality.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-x%3C6-5\"$ Subtract $\"5\"$ from both sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-x%3C1\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%3E%281%29%2F%28-1%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"-1\"$ to isolate $\"x\"$ . note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. \r
