*Treat the inequality sign as an equal sign.
Firstly, add 5 on both sides of the equation: [tex] 3x<9 [/tex]
Next, divide both sides by 3 and your inequality is [tex] x<3 [/tex]
So you have to try to get the variable alone. So you add 5 to both sides ( inverse operations). Now the equation is 3x<9. Then to isolate x. You divide both sides by 3. So your answer is x<3
