Question
Solve the inequality
x<2
Alternative Form
x∈(−∞,2)
Evaluate
(x−2)×2<3×(x−2)
Multiply the terms
2(x−2)<3×(x−2)
Calculate
More Steps

Evaluate
2(x−2)
Apply the distributive property
2x−2×2
Multiply the numbers
2x−4
2x−4=3×(x−2)
Calculate

Evaluate
3×(x−2)
Apply the distributive property
3×x−3×2
Multiply the numbers
3×x−23
2x−4=3×x−23
Move the expression to the left side
2x−4−(3×x−23)<0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
2x−4−3×x+23<0
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(2−3)x−4+23<0
Move the constant to the right side
(2−3)x<0+4−23
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
(2−3)x<4−23
Divide both sides
2−3(2−3)x<2−34−23
Divide the numbers
x<2−34−23
