Answer 1

Hi there,

We need to solve this inequality for x. Solving an inequality takes several steps. These steps depend on what kind of inequality you're solving.

With this particular inequality the steps are as follows.

Inequality
`(x)/(3)+5 < 12`

Steps
`1. Take \ 5 \ from \ both \ sides: (x)/(3) < 7`

`2. Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 3 \ to \ clear \ fractions. \bold{x < 21}`

answer --
`\boxed{x < 21}`

I hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying.
