To solve the inequality \( x + 14 < 25 \), we want to isolate \( x \) on one side. Here are the steps:
-
Subtract 14 from both sides: \[ x + 14 - 14 < 25 - 14 \]
This simplifies to: \[ x < 11 \]
Now, we have the inequality expressed with \( x \) first, which makes it clear that \( x \) is less than 11.
So the final result is: \[ x < 11 \]
This means that any value of \( x \) that is less than 11 will satisfy the original inequality.
