Solve each inequality and graph the solution set on a number line. \(3(x+1)-5<2 x+1\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution set to the inequality is \(x<3\), graphed on a number line as an arrow starting from 3 and pointing to the left. The solution as an interval is \((-∞, 3)\).

Step by step solution

01

Distribute 3 in Term Containing x

Apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition to the term \(3(x+1)\) in the inequality. This gives us: \(3x + 3 - 5 < 2x + 1\).
02

Simplify Both Sides

Simplify the inequality by combining like terms. This gives us: \(3x - 2 < 2x + 1\).
03

Manipulate the inequality to isolate x

Manipulate the inequality by combining 3x and -2x. Subtract 2x from both sides of the inequality for which will result in \(3x - 2x < 1 + 2\) and simplify to get \(x < 3\).
04

Graph the Solution

On a number line, a open circle is put on 3 because x is less than 3 (and not less than or equal to 3). Arrow is placed pointing towards the left to show that x includes all numbers less than 3.
05

Define the Interval

The solution as an interval is \((-∞, 3)\). The open parenthesis means that 3 is not included in the solution set.
