To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable "x".
Subtract 12.5 from both sides of the inequality:
5x + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5
This simplifies to:
5x < 10.6
To isolate "x", divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5x)/5 < 10.6/5
x < 2.12
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 2.12.
5x+12.5<23.1
. Write the rational number in your answer in decimal form to the hundredths place. Make sure to write your inequality so that
x
comes first
