Question

if 2 is added to five times a number the result is less than 13. Find the greatest whole that satisfies the statement

Answer 1

Answer is 2

5 multiplied by 2 plus 2 gives 12 {which is less than 13 and is a whole number}

Therefore greatest whole number that satisfies this statement is 2

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+2<13

5x+2-2<13-2

5x<11

(5x)/5<11/5

x<2.2

Here It is not a whole number and does not satisfies the statement so we should take a nearest whole number that satisfies the statement I. e. 2
