Solve x + 2 1/2 < 8 . Make sure to write your inequality so that x comes first.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality sign.

To do that, let's first subtract 2 1/2 from both sides of the inequality:

x + 2 1/2 - 2 1/2 < 8 - 2 1/2

Simplifying:

x < 5 1/2

So, the inequality with x comes first is:

x < 5 1/2
