To find:
The solution of the equation 7x - 2 < 10.
Solution:
The equation can be solved by isolating the x terms on the left.
Add 2 to both sides of the equation:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 7x-2+2<10+2 \\ 7x<12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 7 to get:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{7x}{7}<\frac{12}{7} \\ x<\frac{12}{7} \\ x<1\frac{5}{7} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the answer to the question is:
[tex]x<1\frac{5}{7}[/tex]
