5x + 12 < 2

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 12 on both sides:                       5x < -10
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 5 on both sides:                                 x < -2

Answer:

x < - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 12 < 2 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

5x < - 10 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x < - 2
