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.
It is 5,000,000 or 5 million.
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 )
