x+5x+24<2x+36
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
6x+24<2x+36
Combine x and 5x to get 6x.
6x+24-2x<36
Subtract 2x from both sides.
4x+24<36
Combine 6x and -2x to get 4x.
4x<36-24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
4x<12
Subtract 24 from 36 to get 12.
x<\frac{12}{4}
Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x<3
Divide 12 by 4 to get 3.
