Question

How do you solve `2x-5<x+1`?

Answer 1

The answer is `x<6`.

First, you subtract `x` from both sides:
`2x-5-x < x+1-x`.
This is equal to `x-5 < 1`.
Then, you add `5`, so on the left side there's only `x`, and on the right side there's only numbers.
`x-5+5<1+5`
This is equal to `x<6`, so that's the answer.
