Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 5x + 12.5 < 23.1 \), we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Subtract 12.5 from both sides.

\[ 5x < 23.1 - 12.5 \]

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

\[ x < \frac{10.6}{5} \]

Now, calculate \( \frac{10.6}{5} \):

\[ \frac{10.6}{5} = 2.12 \]

So the solution to the inequality is \( x < 2.12 \).

Now, filling in the steps and providing the solution in the required format:

• Step 1: Subtract 12.5 from both sides.
• Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

The solution in decimal form to the hundredths place is:

x < 2.12
