Q. Determine the largest integer value of x x in the solution of the following inequality.\newline5x320 5 x-3 \leq-20 \newlineAnswer: x= x=
  1. Add 33 to isolate xx: Add 33 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with xx on one side.\newline5x3+320+35x - 3 + 3 \leq -20 + 3\newline5x175x \leq -17
  2. Divide by 55: Divide both sides of the inequality by 55 to solve for xx.5x5175\frac{5x}{5} \leq \frac{-17}{5}x175x \leq \frac{-17}{5}
  3. Consider integer part: Since we are looking for the largest integer value of xx, we need to consider the integer part of 175-\frac{17}{5}. The integer part of 175-\frac{17}{5} is 4-4 because 3.4-3.4 (which is 175-\frac{17}{5}) rounds down to 4-4 when looking for the largest integer less than or equal to 3.4-3.4.\newlinex4x \leq -4
