3%28x%2B1%29%2B2%3C11 Start with the given inequality.


3x%2B3%2B2%3C11 Distribute.


3x%2B5%3C11 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x%3C11-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


3x%3C6 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%286%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.


x%3C2 Reduce.
