Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve for x as follows:
Divide by 3:
x -5 < -7
Add 5
x < -2
This plots on a number line with an open circle at -2, and shading to the left.
_____
The circle is open because the value -2 is not in the solution set. Shading is to the left because all values less than -2 are in the solution set.
