Answer:

[tex]\boxed{x<12}[/tex]

Solution Steps:

______________________________

1.) Subtract 60 from both sides:

  • [tex]60-60=[/tex] Cancels Out.
  • [tex]240-60=180[/tex].

 - We subtract on both sides to get rid of the extra numbers, so at the end of the equation we'll be able to get x alone. To do so you have to do the opposite of what you see.

Equation at the end of Step 1:

  • [tex]15x[/tex] < [tex]180[/tex]

2.) Divide both sides by 15:

  • [tex]180[/tex] ÷ [tex]15=12[/tex]
  • [tex]15x[/tex] ÷ [tex]15=x[/tex]

 - Since 15 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

Equation at the end of Step 2:

  • [tex]x[/tex] < [tex]12[/tex]
