Q. Determine the largest integer value of x in the solution of the following inequality.−2x+8>20Answer: x=
Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side of the inequality.We start by subtracting 8 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with the variable x.-2x + 8 - 8 > 20 - 8This simplifies to:-2x > 12
Divide by −2: Divide both sides of the inequality by −2 to solve for x. When dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality changes. -2x / -2 < 12 / -2 This simplifies to: x < -6
Find largest integer: Determine the largest integer value of x that satisfies the inequality.Since x must be less than −6, the largest integer value that x can take is −7, because −7 is the next integer less than −6.
