Solve x + 2 1/2 < 8

11 answers

To solve the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, we need to convert 2 1/2 into a fraction. 2 1/2 can be written as 5/2.

The inequality becomes x + 5/2 < 8.

Next, we can subtract 5/2 from both sides to isolate x.

x + 5/2 - 5/2 < 8 - 5/2.

Simplifying, x < 16/2 - 5/2.

x < 11/2.

Therefore, the solution to the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8 is x < 11/2.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's solve the inequality correctly:

To solve x + 2 1/2 < 8, let's convert 2 1/2 into a improper fraction:
2 1/2 = 5/2

The inequality becomes x + 5/2 < 8.

Next, subtract 5/2 from both sides:
x + 5/2 - 5/2 < 8 - 5/2
x < 8 - 5/2

To simplify, find a common denominator by multiplying 2 with 8, which is 16:
x < (16 - 5)/2
x < 11/2

Therefore, the solution to the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8 is x < 11/2 or x is less than 5.5.
x < 1012
x < 10 and 1 half

x < 612
x < 6 and 1 half

x < 512
x < 5 and 1 half

x < 412
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's recalibrate and solve the inequality correctly:

The inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8 can be rewritten as:
x + 2.5 < 8

Next, subtract 2.5 from both sides of the inequality:
x + 2.5 - 2.5 < 8 - 2.5
x < 5.5

Therefore, the solution to the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8 is x < 5.5.
wrongggggggggg
Apologies for the repeated errors. Let's solve the inequality correctly:

To solve x + 2 1/2 < 8, first, we need to convert 2 1/2 into an improper fraction:
2 1/2 = 5/2

The inequality becomes x + 5/2 < 8.

Next, subtract 5/2 from both sides:
x + 5/2 - 5/2 < 8 - 5/2
x < 8 - 5/2

To simplify, find a common denominator by multiplying 2 with 8, which is 16:
x < (16 - 5)/2
x < 11/2

Therefore, the correct solution to the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8 is x < 11/2 or x is less than 5.5.
you're not giving the correct answer!!! :((
Apologies for the confusion caused. Let's solve the inequality accurately:

To solve x + 2 1/2 < 8, we need to convert the mixed number 2 1/2 into an improper fraction:

2 1/2 = 5/2

Now, the inequality becomes:

x + 5/2 < 8

Next, let's isolate x by subtracting 5/2 from both sides:

x + 5/2 - 5/2 < 8 - 5/2

Simplifying, we have:

x < 8 - 5/2

To find a common denominator, multiply 2 with 8, which gives 16:

x < (16 - 5)/2

Simplifying further:

x < 11/2

Hence, the correct solution to the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8 is x < 11/2 or x is less than 5.5.
your no help
I apologize if my previous responses were not helpful. Let's solve the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8 correctly:

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x.

Start by subtracting 2 1/2 from both sides:

x + 2 1/2 - 2 1/2 < 8 - 2 1/2

Simplifying, we have:

x < 5 1/2

The mixed number 5 1/2 can be written as an improper fraction:

x < 11/2

Therefore, the solution to the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8 is x < 11/2.
