Given the inequality equation:

3x + 6 < 21

Solve for x.

Solution:

In order to sovle for x, we must transpose 6 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign cahnges.

3x + 6 < 21

3x < 21 - 6

3x < 15

Divide both sides by 3 in order to determine the value of x.

3x/3 < 15/3

x < 5

Final answer:

x < 5
