Solve 5x<12

Question

. Write the improper fraction in your answer as a mixed number. Make sure to write your inequality so that x
comes first.(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(5x < 12\), we need to isolate \(x\).

1. Divide both sides of the inequality by 5:

\[ x < \frac{12}{5} \]

2. Now, convert \(\frac{12}{5}\) to a mixed number.

\(\frac{12}{5}\) can be expressed as:

\[ 2 \frac{2}{5} \]

So, the final answer, with \(x\) first, is:

\[ x < 2 \frac{2}{5} \]
