Question

3+1.2x<13.5
Help please

Answer 1

3 + 1.2x < 13.5

First get rid of 3 by subtracting 3 to both sides (subtracting 3 to 3 and 13.5)

1.2x < 10.5

Now divide 1.2 to both sides

x = 8.75 (8¾)

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

`x < 8.75`

Explanation:

1) Subtract 3 from both sides.

`1.2x < 13.5 - 3`

2) Simplify 13.5 - 3 to 10.5.

`1.2x < 10.5`

3) Divide both sides by 1.2.

`x < (10.5)/(1.2)`

4) Simplify 10.5/1.2 to 8.75.

`x < 8.75`

Therefor, the answer is x < 8.75.
