Solve x+10.5<20.2 . Make sure to write your inequality so that x comes first.

Question

Note: You will find the option to add a > , < , ≥ , or ≤ symbol in the Comparison (<) keyboard.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( x + 10.5 < 20.2 \), we first isolate \( x \) by subtracting \( 10.5 \) from both sides:

\[ x < 20.2 - 10.5 \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ 20.2 - 10.5 = 9.7 \]

So, the inequality can be rewritten as:

\[ x < 9.7 \]

To write the inequality with \( x \) coming first:

\[ x < 9.7 \]

This expresses the solution clearly with \( x \) on the left.
