Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
7x + 3 < 26
x < 23/7
Discussion:
The question can be written as:
7x + 3 < 26 =>
7x +3 - 3 < 26 - 3 => (subtract 3 from both sides)
7x < 23 =>
x < 23/7 (divide both sides by 7)

Answer:
7x + 3 < 26
x < 7[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
3 more than the product of 7 and a number x is less than 26
Representing it in equation form gives;
7x + 3 < 26
Simplifying gives;
7x < 26 - 3
7x < 23
Dividing through by 7 gives;
x < [tex]\frac{23}{7}[/tex]
Putting it into proper fraction form gives;
x < 7[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
