To solve the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1, we first subtract 12.5 from both sides:
5x < 23.1 - 12.5
Simplifying,
5x < 10.6
To isolate x, we divide both sides by 5:
x < 10.6/5
Simplifying further,
x < 2.12
So, the solution in decimal form to the hundredths place 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 r comes first.
