Question

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
x
comes first.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1, we need to isolate x.

First, subtract 12.5 from both sides of the inequality:
5x + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5
5x < 10.6

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5x)/5 < 10.6/5
x < 2.12

So the solution to the inequality is x < 2.12.
