Solve the inequality

2x - 5 < 3,

sketch the solution set on the real number line, and
express the solution set using interval notation.

 

2x < 8 Add 5 to both sides of the inequality in order to express the inequality with a single variable on the left side and a single constant term on the right.
Show work. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 2.
