(4x-2) Remove the parentheses around the expression 4x-2.
4x-2 Since x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the inequality by subtracting x from both sides.
4x-2-x<1
Since 4x and -x are like terms, add -x to 4x to get 3x.
3x-2<1
Since -2 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by adding 2 to both sides.
3x<2+1
Add 1 to 2 to get 3.
3x<3
Divide each term in the inequality by 3.
(3x)/(3)<(3)/(3)
Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common factors.
x<(3)/(3)
Simplify the right-hand side of the inequality by simplifying each term.
x<1
