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

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( x + 10.5 < 20.2 \), we need to isolate \( x \).

1. Subtract \( 10.5 \) from both sides of the inequality:

\[ x + 10.5 - 10.5 < 20.2 - 10.5 \]

2. Simplifying both sides gives:

\[ x < 9.7 \]

Now, rewriting the inequality with \( x \) first, we have:

\[ x < 9.7 \]
