To solve the inequality 3a - 4 < 5, we need to isolate the variable "a". Here's a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Add 4 to both sides of the inequality to get rid of the -4 on the left side:
3a - 4 + 4 < 5 + 4
This simplifies to 3a < 9.

Step 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by 3 to isolate the variable "a":
(3a)/3 < 9/3
This simplifies to a < 3.

Therefore, the solution to the inequality 3a - 4 < 5 is a < 3.
