Interpret 2 and 1/2 as 2½ = 5/2. Then
x + 5/2 < 8
Subtract 5/2 from both sides:
x < 8 − 5/2 = 16/2 − 5/2 = 11/2.
So x < 11/2 (which is x < 5.5). In interval notation: (−∞, 11/2).
x + 5/2 < 8
Subtract 5/2 from both sides:
x < 8 − 5/2 = 16/2 − 5/2 = 11/2.
So x < 11/2 (which is x < 5.5). In interval notation: (−∞, 11/2).
