Question

If 20-5x<5(x+8), find the smallest value of x when (1) x is an integer (2) x is a whole number (3) x is a natural number

Answer 1

Answer:

Natural nos. start from 1

whole Nos. start from 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1. when x is an integer,

x can also be a negative no.

smallest value of x can be any negative no.

2. when x is a whole no. , the smallest available whole no. is 0

so, x= 0

3. when x is a natural no.

smallest natural no. is 1,

so, x = 1

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{\red{\text{HERE IS THE ANSWER}}}$

$20 - 5x < 5(x + 8) \\ 20 - 5x < 5x + 40 \\ 20 - 40 < 5x + 5x \\ - 20 < 10x \\ - 2 < x$

1. -1

2. 0

3. 1
