Choice A is the correct answer. Solve the inequality step by step.

1. Subtract 5: $2x < 6$
2. Divide by 2: $x < 3$

💡 Strategic Tip: Treat inequalities like equations, but remember to flip the sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

Choice B is incorrect because it has the wrong inequality direction. Choice C is incorrect because it forgot to divide by 2. Choice D is incorrect because it has both wrong direction and wrong value.
