Pre-Algebra

• Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define inequality

3x - 3 < 9

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Add 3 to both sides:                    3x < 12
2. Divide 3 on both sides:                x < 4

Here we see that any number x smaller than 4 would work as a solution.

Answer 2

Answer:

x < 4 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 3 < 9 <----- This is the original question.

3x - 3 + 3 < 9 + 3 <----- Add 3 to both sides.

3x < 12 <-----Simplify

3x/3 < 12/3 <----- Divide both sides by 3.

x < 4 = x is less than 4

Hope this helps! :)
