Solve x+2 1/2<8 make sure you write the equinity so that x come first.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8, we can rewrite 2 1/2 as an improper fraction.

The improper fraction equivalent of 2 1/2 is (2 x 2 + 1) / 2 = 5 / 2.

Substituting this value into the inequality, we get:
x + 5/2 < 8

To isolate x, we can subtract 5/2 from both sides:
x < 8 - 5/2

Simplifying the right side:
x < 16/2 - 5/2
x < 11/2

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:
x < 11/2 or x comes before 11/2.
