12s-20%3C50-3s-25 Start with the given inequality.


12s-20%3C-3s%2B25 Combine like terms on the right side.


12s%3C-3s%2B25%2B20 Add 20 to both sides.


12s%2B3s%3C25%2B20 Add 3s to both sides.


15s%3C25%2B20 Combine like terms on the left side.


15s%3C45 Combine like terms on the right side.


s%3C%2845%29%2F%2815%29 Divide both sides by 15 to isolate s.


s%3C3 Reduce.
