Solve x+2 1/2<8 . Make sure to write your inequality so that x comes first.
To solve the inequality x + 2 1/2 < 8, we need to isolate x on one side of the inequality symbol.
First, we subtract 2 1/2 from both sides:
x + 2 1/2 - 2 1/2 < 8 - 2 1/2
x < 6 1/2
Therefore, the rewritten inequality with x comes first is x < 6 1/2.
