Which is true when x-3<2

Hey there!

“x – 3 < 2”

Let’s change your current question into a(n) equation to make it EASIER to solve (this is for temporary purposes ONLY)

• Temporary question

x – 3 = 2

• First: ADD BOTH SIDES by 3

x – 3 + 3 = 2 + 3

• CANCEL: –3 + 3 because that gives you 0

• KEEP: 2 + 3 because that helps solve for x

• New temporary question: 2 + 3 = x

2 + 3 = 5

The temporary question answer is: x = 5 ✅

NOW LETS SOLVE FOR YOUR ACTUAL EQUATION (just saying it REQUIRES the SAME steps as the temporary question just a TAD bit differently!)

x – 3 < 2

• FIRST: ADD both SIDES BY 3

x – 3 + 3 < 2 + 3

• CANCEL: –3 + 3 because that gives you 0

• KEEP: 2 + 3 because that helps us compare the answer with x

• New equation: x < 2 + 3

2 + 3 = 5

x < 5

Answer to your given question is: x < 5 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
