x+5<4
To solve this inequality you simply subtract both sides by 5.
In this case x+5 < 4
x + 5 - 5 < 4 - 5
x < -1
Thinking about it logically, if x was equal to -1 then x + 5 would equal to 4
So if x was always smaller than -1, then x + 5 muts be smaller than 4!
ex. If x was -2 then -2 + 5 would = 3, which is smaller than 4!
