Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the inequality $x + 5 < 7$ .
2. We need to solve for $x$ such that the inequality holds true.

STEP 2

To isolate $x$ , we need to subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality.
$x + 5 - 5 < 7 - 5$

STEP 3

Perform the subtraction on both sides.
$x < 7 - 5$

STEP 4

Calculate the result of the subtraction.
$x < 2$
The solution to the inequality is $x < 2$ .
