Solve 5x+12.5<23.1 write the rational number in your answer in decimal form to the hundrthets place make sure to write your inequality so that x comes first
To solve the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality sign.
First, subtract 12.5 from both sides of the inequality:
5x + 12.5 - 12.5 < 23.1 - 12.5
5x < 10.6
Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5x) / 5 < (10.6) / 5
x < 2.12
Therefore, the solution to the inequality 5x + 12.5 < 23.1 is x < 2.12 when written in decimal form to the hundredths place.
