Solve x + 2 1/2 < 8

Question

1: x < 10 1/2
2: x < 6 1/2
3: x < 5 1/2
4: x < 4 1/2

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x.

We start by subtracting 2 1/2 from both sides of the inequality:
x + 2 1/2 - 2 1/2 < 8 - 2 1/2,
x < 5 1/2.

So the solution is x < 5 1/2.

Therefore, the answer is: 3: x < 5 1/2.
