Solve x+2 1/2<8. Make sure to write your inequality so that x comes first.(1 point

1 answer

To solve the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8, subtract 2 1/2 from both sides:

x + 2 1/2 - 2 1/2 < 8 - 2 1/2

Simplifying the left side:

x < 8 - 2 1/2

Combining the whole numbers and fractions:

x < 5 1/2

Therefore, the inequality with x comes first is:

x < 5 1/2
