Answer 1

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, subtract 12.5 from both sides of the inequality:

5x + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5

Simplifying, we get:

5x < 10.6

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x:

(5x)/5 < 10.6/5

Simplifying further, we have:

x < 2.12

So the solution to the inequality is x < 2.12.
