                    Lesson 1

Problem:                   Solve:

x + 45 < 55

Solution                    Combine like terms i.e. transferring 45 to right side

Step 1:  

                                                            Solution                    Subtracting 45 from 55 i.e.  x < 55 - 45

Step 2:  

                                                            Solution                    x < 10, x is less than 10

Solution                    The answer is: x < 10

Step 4:  

Complete   

                                                            Try two practice problems:
