Answer
($-\infty, -2)$
Work Step by Step
$Solve$ $the$ $linear$ $inequality$. $Express$ $the$ $solution$ $using$ $interval$ $notation$ $and$ $graph$ $the$ $solution$ $set$:
$3x + 11 \lt 5$
Solve for x
$3x +11 \lt 5$
Subtract both sides by 11
$3x +11-11 \lt 5-11$
$3x \lt -6$
Divide both sides by 3
$\frac{3x}{3} \lt -\frac{6}{3}$
$x \lt -2$
Express the solution in interval notation form
($-\infty, -2)$
Graph the solution set
