To solve the inequality \( 2x + 5 < 11 \), the steps can be ordered as follows:

Step 1. Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality. Step 2. Divide both sides by 2. Step 3. Write the final solution.

So the completed steps should look like:

  • Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality.
  • Step 2: Divide both sides by 2.
  • Step 3: Write the final solution.

If you need the specific responses to select for each step, here they are:

  • Step 1: "Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality."
  • Step 2: "Divide both sides by 2."
