Answer:

10

Explanation:

pi is 3.14...

pi - 1 is 2.14...

question becomes 1<2.14x and 2.14x < 10

1/2.14 < x, 0.46... < x

x < 10/2.14, x < 4.67...

combining

0.46< x < 4.67

x can be 1, 2, 3, 4

Answer:

Explanation:

pi - 1 = 3.14 - 1 = 2.14

x has to be an integer, and the result must be greater than 1.

1 works.

1 < 2.14*1 < 10 2.14 is between 1 and 10.

2 works

1 < (2.14)*2 < 10

1 < 4.28 < 10

3 works

1 < 2.14 * 3 < 10

1 < 6.42 < 10

4 might work

1 < 2.14*4 < 10

1 < 8.56 < 10

and it does work.

5 can't work

1 < 5 * 2.14 < 10

1 < 10.7 < 10 is not true.

Answer: 1,2,3,4
