To solve the inequality \( 5x + 12.5 < 23.1 \), follow these steps:

Subtract 12.5 from both sides: \[ 5x < 23.1 - 12.5 \] \[ 5x < 10.6 \]
Divide both sides by 5: \[ x < \frac{10.6}{5} \] \[ x < 2.12 \]

So the inequality can be written as: \[ x < 2.12 \]

In the requested format with \( x \) coming first, the final answer is: \[ x < 2.12 \]
