Answer:
There is 1 integral solution of the equation which is x = 0.
Explaination
1. General Method
The given equation is
x = 4{x} - [x]
where {. }, [. ] are fractional and greatest integer function.
or x + [x ]= 4{x}
or [x] + {x} + [x] = 4{x}, as x = [x] + {x}
or 2[x] = 3{x}.......... (1)
or [x] = 1.5{x}∈[0, 1.5) since {x}∈[0, 1)
Since [x] is an integer, [x] can be either 0 or 1 to satisfy the above condition.
Using equation (1)
When [x] = 0, 2*0 = 3{x}
or {x} = 0
So x = [x] + {x} = 0+ 0 = 0
When [x] = 1, 2*1= 3{x}
or {x} = 2/3 = 0.67
So x = [x] + {x} = 1 + 2/3
or x = 5/3
Hence solutions are x = 0, 5/3
Integral solution of the equation is 0.
2. Short Method
Since we need to find integral solution, assume that x is an integer. Therefore
[x] = x
{x} = 0
Using this in the given equation we get
x = 4*0 - x
or x = - x
or 2x = 0
or x = 0
Hence there is 1 integral solution of the equation.
