Key points: Approach in exactly the same way as if there was an = instead of an <.When trying to solve the inequality, remember that whatever you do to one side of the inequality you must also do to the other.Step 1: Add 5 to both sides of the inequality, leaving you with 3x < 21.Step 2: Divide both sides by 3, leaving you with x < 7.
