Question
Given 20 – 5 x < 5 (x + 8), find the smallest value of x, when
(i) x ∈ I
(ii) x ∈ W
(iii) x ∈ N.
Solution
20 – 5 x < 5 (x + 8)
⇒ 20 – 5x < 5x + 40
⇒ – 5x – 5x < 40 – 20
⇒ – 10x < 20
⇒ – x < 2
⇒ x > – 2
(i) When x ∈ I, then smallest value = – 1.
(ii) When x ∈ W, then smallest value = 0.
(iii) When x ∈ N, then smallest value = 1.
