7%28x-2%29%3C5x-8 Start with the given inequality.


7x-14%3C5x-8 Distribute.


7x%3C5x-8%2B14 Add 14 to both sides.


7x-5x%3C-8%2B14 Subtract 5x from both sides.


2x%3C-8%2B14 Combine like terms on the left side.


2x%3C6 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%286%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x.


x%3C3 Reduce.
