Math Problem Statement
Solve x + 3 < 6x - 4
Solution
The inequality you provided is:
Let's solve this step by step:
-
Subtract from both sides to bring the variable terms together:
-
Add 4 to both sides to isolate the variable term on the right:
-
Divide both sides by 5 to solve for :
This can also be written as:
So, the solution is:
