1) Divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to isolate the variable: x < 23/5.
2) Substitute different values for x to check if they satisfy the inequality. For example, x = 3: 5(3) < 23 (which is true).
3) Graph the inequality on a number line. On the number line, shade the section to the left of 23/5 to represent all values of x that satisfy the inequality.
which list shows three solutions to the inequeatly 5x<23
