To solve the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8, we can rewrite 2 1/2 as an improper fraction.
The improper fraction equivalent of 2 1/2 is (2 x 2 + 1) / 2 = 5 / 2.
Substituting this value into the inequality, we get:
x + 5/2 < 8
To isolate x, we can subtract 5/2 from both sides:
x < 8 - 5/2
Simplifying the right side:
x < 16/2 - 5/2
x < 11/2
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:
x < 11/2 or x comes before 11/2.
Solve x+2 1/2<8 make sure you write the equinity so that x come first.
