To solve the inequality 5x - 2 < 8, we first add 2 to both sides of the inequality:
5x - 2 + 2 < 8 + 2
5x < 10
Next, to isolate the variable x, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
5x/5 < 10/5
x < 2
Therefore, x is less than 2.
The inequality that represents the solution set is X < 2.
Since the solution is x < 2, the point should be open.
The shading should be to the left, indicating values less than 2.
