To solve the inequality \(5x + 12.5 < 23.1\), we first isolate \(x\).
1. Subtract \(12.5\) from both sides of the inequality:
\[
5x < 23.1 - 12.5
\]
\[
5x < 10.6
\]
2. Next, divide both sides by \(5\):
\[
x < \frac{10.6}{5}
\]
\[
x < 2.12
\]
So the solution to the inequality can be written as:
\[
x < 2.12
\]
In summary, the final answer with \(x\) coming first is:
\[
x < 2.12
\]
