8x%2B17%3C=6x-25 Start with the given inequality.


8x%3C=6x-25-17 Subtract 17 from both sides.


8x-6x%3C=-25-17 Subtract 6x from both sides.


2x%3C=-25-17 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3C=-42 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C=%28-42%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x%3C=-21 Reduce.
