Q. Determine the largest integer value of x in the solution of the following inequality.5x−3≤−20Answer: x=
Add 3 to isolate x: Add 3 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with x on one side.5x−3+3≤−20+35x≤−17
Divide by 5: Divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x.55x≤5−17x≤5−17
Consider integer part: Since we are looking for the largest integer value of x, we need to consider the integer part of −517. The integer part of −517 is −4 because −3.4 (which is −517) rounds down to −4 when looking for the largest integer less than or equal to−3.4.x≤−4
