Question

Find the smallest value of x for which 5-2x < 5 1/2 - 5/3 x, where x is an integer.

Answer 1

Hope that this will help you out..

Answer 2

Answer:–

$5\: -\:2x\: < \: 5\dfrac{1}{2} \: - \: \frac{5}{3}x$

$-2x\: +\:\dfrac{5}{3}x\: < \: \dfrac{11}{2}\: -\:5$

$\dfrac{-x}{3} \: < \: \frac{1}{2}$

$-x\: < \: \dfrac{3}{2}$

$x\: > \:\dfrac{-3}{2}$

$x \: > \: -1.5$

Therefore, the smallest value of x = -1
