The inequality  is

Apply addition property of inequality: add 2 to each side .

                (Commutative property of addition: a + b = b + a)

                                (Additive inverse property: a + (-a) = -a + a = 0)

                                    (add;3+2=5)

\  
\

Graph the solution set on a number line.

\ \

Check:

To check, substitute 5 and less than 5 in

                   (subtract:5-2=3)

The inequality solution is .
