Question

$$\frac { 3 x } { 5 } - 4 \lt 5$$

Solve for x

$x<15$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by $5$. Since $5$ is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

$$3x-20<25$$

Add $20$ to both sides.

$$3x<25+20$$

Add $25$ and $20$ to get $45$.

$$3x<45$$

Divide both sides by $3$. Since $3$ is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

$$x<\frac{45}{3}$$

Divide $45$ by $3$ to get $15$.

$$x<15$$
