To solve the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1, we can begin by subtracting 12.5 from both sides:
5x + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5
5x < 10.6
Next, we divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable x:
(5x)/5 < 10.6/5
x < 2.12
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 2.12.
Solve 5x+12.5<23.1. Write the rational number in your answer in decimal form to the hundredths place.
