Solve 5x+12.5<23.1. write the national number in your answer in decimal form 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 must isolate the variable x.
Subtracting 12.5 from both sides of the inequality, we get:
5x < 23.1 - 12.5
Simplifying the right side:
5x < 10.6
Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides by 5:
x < 10.6/5
x < 2.12
So the inequality written with x first is x < 2.12.
