Find the value of x which satisfies 5x - 3 < 7 where x is a natural number.
add 3 both sides
5 x < 10
divide by 5 both sides
x < 2
1 will do.
watch out though
we divided both sides by a POSITIVE number
IF you divide or multiply both sides by a NEGATIVE number you reverse the direction f the arrow
4 < 7 four is to the left on number line
but
-4 > -7 negative 4 is to the right on number line
Thank you so much :)
To find the value of x that satisfies the inequality 5x - 3 < 7, we need to solve it by isolating x.
Step 1: Add 3 to both sides of the inequality:
5x - 3 + 3 < 7 + 3
5x < 10
Step 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by 5 (since the coefficient of x is 5):
5x/5 < 10/5
x < 2
Since x is a natural number (a positive whole number), we can see that the value of x that satisfies the inequality is 1.
