Question

Determine the largest integer value of x x in the solution of the following inequality. 5x+6<     19

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

First, let's solve the inequality.

Step 1: Subtract 6 from both sides.

• 
  `5x+6-6 < 19-6`
• 
  `5x < 13`

Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.

• 
  `5x/5 < 13/5`
• 
  `x < 2.6`

Now that we know x has to be less than 2.6, we can easily assume the largest integer value that satisfies the inequality is when x = 2
