Question

$$14x-5-8x < 25$$

Solve for x

$x<5$

Solution Steps

Combine $14x$ and $-8x$ to get $6x$.

$$6x-5<25$$

Add $5$ to both sides.

$$6x<25+5$$

Add $25$ and $5$ to get $30$.

$$6x<30$$

Divide both sides by $6$. Since $6$ is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

$$x<\frac{30}{6}$$

Divide $30$ by $6$ to get $5$.

$$x<5$$
