solve 5x + 12.5 < 23.1 write the rational number jn your answer in decimal form from the hundredths place

1 answer

To solve 5x + 12.5 < 23.1, we can start by subtracting 12.5 from both sides:

5x + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5

Simplifying:

5x < 10.6

Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to isolate the variable x:

(5x)/5 < 10.6/5

Simplifying further:

x < 2.12

Therefore, the solution to the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1 in decimal form rounded to the hundredths place is x < 2.12.
