Answer:

x<10

Explanation:

First, we want to move all of our like terms to one side. In the inequality, the variable x on one side and our whole numbers on the other.

To do this you have to cancel out 0.5x on the right side. So you need to subtract 0.5 from both sides.

This leaves you with 15+x<25. Subtract 15 from both sides which leaves you with x<10

Hope this helps :)
