The inequality sign got lost when writing the question. Anyway, inequalities are basically solved the same way as equations; you transfer everything that has the variable ("x") to one side, and everything else to the other side of the equation - or inequality. The major care you must take is that in an inequality, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction - for example, a less-than becomes a greater-than.

There appears to be no inequality in the question: only some disjoint expressions. Expressions cannot be solved.
3x + 2x < 6 Add the terms on the left side: 5x < 6 One can perform the same operation to both sides of the inequality. If one divides by a positive number then the inequality retains it 'sense'. In this case, it remains a '<'. Divide both sides by 5: 5x / 5 < 6 / 5 x < 6 / 5 ( the answer )
It is 5,000,000 or 5 million.

You cannot solve it because it is an expression - not an equation nor inequality.
It is an algebraic expression. An inequality includes '>' or '

Solve x + 6 = -3 I want to get the x by itself; that is, I want to get "x" on one side of the "equals" sign, and some number on the other side. Since I want just x on the one side, this means that I don't like the "plus six" that's currently on the same side as the x. Since the 6 is added to the x, I need to subtract to get rid of it. That is, I will need to subtract a 6 from the x in order to "undo" having added a 6 to it. What you would see here is that I've subtracted 6 from both sides, drawn an "equals" bar underneath both sides, and added down: x plus nothing is x, 6 minus 6 is zero, and -3 plus -6 is -9. The solution is the last line of my work: x = -9. You can do the same for inequality but the equal sign is now an inequality, so x + 6 ≤ -3. Use the same process as if the inequality were still the equal sign. You will get the same answer but with the inequality, so the solution is x≤ -9.
There cannot be an answer since there is no equation or inequality. The expression can be simplified to -6f -6 or -6(f + 1)
