Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 5x + 12.5 < 23.1 \), we can first subtract 12.5 from both sides to isolate the term with \( x \) on one side:

\( 5x + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5 \)

This simplifies to:

\( 5x < 10.6 \)

Next, we'll divide both sides by 5 to solve for \( x \):

\( x < \frac{10.6}{5} \)

\( x < 2.12 \)

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:

\( x < 2.12 \)

Answer 2
