Solve 5x + 12.5<23.1

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1, we can start by subtracting 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, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5:

(5x)/5 < 10.6/5

This further simplifies to:

x < 2.12

So the solution to the inequality is x < 2.12.
