5x%2B5%3C3%28x%2B2%29 Start with the given inequality.


5x%2B5%3C3x%2B6 Distribute.


5x%3C3x%2B6-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


5x-3x%3C6-5 Subtract 3x from both sides.


2x%3C6-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3C1 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%281%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.
