Solve 5x 12.5 < 23.1. Wrie the rational number in ur anwer in decimal form to the hundredths place. Make sure to write ur inequality so that x comes first

Answer 1

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: \[ x < 2.12 \]
