Question

Solve 5x+12.5<23.1 . Write the rational number in your answer in decimal form to the hundredths place

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1, we can start by isolating the variable x.

5x + 12.5 < 23.1

Subtracting 12.5 from both sides:

5x < 23.1 - 12.5
5x < 10.6

Since we want to express the solution in decimal form, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 5:

x < 10.6 / 5
x < 2.12

So the solution to the inequality is x < 2.12.
