1. Problem Description

Solve the linear inequality 2x7<3x+32x - 7 < -3x + 3.

2. Solution Steps

We want to isolate xx on one side of the inequality.
First, add 3x3x to both sides of the inequality:
2x7+3x<3x+3+3x2x - 7 + 3x < -3x + 3 + 3x
5x7<35x - 7 < 3
Next, add 77 to both sides of the inequality:
5x7+7<3+75x - 7 + 7 < 3 + 7
5x<105x < 10
Finally, divide both sides of the inequality by 55:
5x5<105\frac{5x}{5} < \frac{10}{5}
x<2x < 2

3. Final Answer

x<2x < 2
