To solve the inequality \( x + 10.5 < 20.2 \), we want to isolate \( x \).

  1. Subtract \( 10.5 \) from both sides:

\[ x < 20.2 - 10.5 \]

  1. Calculate the right side:

\[ 20.2 - 10.5 = 9.7 \]

So, the inequality becomes:

\[ x < 9.7 \]

To write the inequality with \( x \) coming first, we can write it as:

\[ x < 9.7 \]
