x%2B3%3C8-x Start with the given inequality.


x%3C8-x-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


x%2Bx%3C8-3 Add x to both sides.


2x%3C8-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3C5 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%285%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the answer is x%3C5%2F2


Which approximates to x%3C2.5
