To solve the inequality \( 2x - 2 < 4 \), the steps can be ordered as follows:
Step 1: Add 2 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 2x - 2 + 2 < 4 + 2 \] \[ 2x < 6 \]
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for \( x \): \[ \frac{2x}{2} < \frac{6}{2} \] \[ x < 3 \]
Step 3: Write the final solution: The solution to the inequality is \( x < 3 \).
So the correct order of steps is:
- Step 1: Add 2 to both sides.
- Step 2: Divide by 2.
- Step 3: Write the final solution.
