Question

if x is an integer & y = -4x+17,what is the least value of x for which y is less than 1?​

Answer 1

Answer:

here,

X is an integer and

y= -4x+17

now, y is less than 1

so,

$y < 1 \\ - 4x + 17 < 1 \\ - 4x + 17 - 17 < 1 - 17 \\ - 4x < - 16 \\ \frac{ - 4x}{ - 4} < \frac{ - 16}{ - 4} \\ x < 4$

so value of X:

$( - \infty \: to \: 4)$
