Q. Determine the largest integer value of x in the solution of the following inequality.4x−5<7Answer: x=
Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term on one side of the inequality.To solve for x, we want to isolate x on one side of the inequality. We can start by adding 5 to both sides of the inequality to cancel out the −5 on the left side.4x - 5 + 5 < 7 + 5This simplifies to:4x < 12
Divide by coefficient: Divide both sides of the inequality by the coefficient of x. To solve for x, we now divide both sides of the inequality by 4, which is the coefficient of x. \frac{4x}{4} < \frac{12}{4} This simplifies to: x < 3
Find largest integer: Determine the largest integer value of x. Since x is less than 3, the largest integer value that x can take is one less than 3, because we are looking for the largest integer that is still less than 3. x=2
