Solve 5x + 12.5 < 23.1 write the rational numbers in your answer in decimal from to the hundredths place make sure to write your inequality SO that x comes first

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1, we will isolate the variable x by performing the necessary operations.

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

This simplifies to:

x < 2.12

Therefore, the solution in decimal form to the hundredths place is:

x is less than 2.12

The inequality can be written as:

x < 2.12
