GPT 3.5
The first step to solve the inequality x - 5 < x/6 is to get all the variables on one side of the inequality.
To do this, we can subtract x from both sides of the inequality:
x - x - 5 < x/6 - x
This simplifies to:
-5 < -5x/6
Now, we can multiply both sides by -6 to eliminate the fraction:
-6(-5) < -6(-5x/6)
30 < 5x
Therefore, the inequality has been simplified to 30 < 5x.
To do this, we can subtract x from both sides of the inequality:
x - x - 5 < x/6 - x
This simplifies to:
