Question

a/5 + 8<13 please help

Answer 1

We have the inequality

$\frac{a}{5}+8<13$

solving for a, we have

$\begin{gathered} \frac{a}{5}+8<13 \\ \frac{a}{5}<13-8 \\ \frac{a}{5}<5 \\ a<5\cdot5 \\ a<25 \end{gathered}$

Then a has to be less than 25. Written the solution in interval form we have:

$(-\infty,25)$
