To write the inequality so that X comes first, we can rearrange the terms as follows:
5X + 12.5 < 23.1
To solve this inequality, we need to isolate X on one side of the inequality sign. Let's begin:
5X < 23.1 - 12.5
5X < 10.6
Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for X:
X < 10.6/5
X < 2.12
Therefore, the rational number solution to the inequality is X < 2.12 (to the hundredth place).
Solve 5X +12.5 is less than 23.1 write the rational number in your answer in decimal form to the hundredth place make sure to write your inequality so that X comes first
