Question

What is the smallest whole number that is a solution to 3x > 21

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

The given inequality is

`3x>21`

Divide both sides by 3.

`(3x)/(3)>(21)/(3)`

`x>7`

It means all number which are greater than 7 are the solution of given inequality.

We need to find the smallest whole number that is a solution to the given inequality.

The smallest whole number which is greater that 7 is 8.

Therefore, the required number is 8.
