To solve the inequality \( 5x + 12.5 < 23.1 \), follow these steps:
1. Subtract 12.5 from both sides:
\[
5x < 23.1 - 12.5
\]
2. Calculate the right side:
\[
5x < 10.6
\]
3. Now, divide both sides by 5:
\[
x < \frac{10.6}{5}
\]
4. Calculate the division:
\[
x < 2.12
\]
Since you want the answer rounded to the hundredths place, we already have \( x < 2.12 \).
Thus, the final result is:
\[
x < 2.12
\]
