Solve 5x + 12.5 < 23.1 write the rational numbers in your answer in decimal from to the hundredths place make sure to write your inequality SO that x comes first
To solve the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1, we will isolate the variable x by performing the necessary operations.
Subtract 12.5 from both sides of the inequality:
5x + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5
This simplifies to:
5x < 10.6
To isolate x, divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5x) / 5 < (10.6) / 5
This simplifies to:
x < 2.12
Therefore, the solution in decimal form to the hundredths place is:
x is less than 2.12
The inequality can be written as:
x < 2.12
