Solve the inequalities in Exercises 17 to 20 and show the graph of the solution in each case on number line:

3x – 2 < 2x + 1

We have,

3x – 2 < 2x + 1


Solving the given inequality, we get:


3x – 2 < 2x + 1


= 3x – 2x < 1 + 2


= x < 3


Now, the graphical representation of the solution is as follows:
