7x-14<2x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by x-2.
7x-14-2x<3
Subtract 2x from both sides.
5x-14<3
Combine 7x and -2x to get 5x.
5x<3+14
Add 14 to both sides.
5x<17
Add 3 and 14 to get 17.
x<\frac{17}{5}
Divide both sides by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
