5x + 12.5 < 23.1
Subtract 12.5 from both sides:
5x < 23.1 - 12.5
Simplify:
5x < 10.6
Divide both sides by 5:
x < 10.6/5
Simplify:
x < 2.12
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x < 2.12.
Solve 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 a comes first.
