Question

3x + 5 > 16
x is an integer.

Find the smallest value of x.

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5 > 16

3x > 16 - 5

3x > 11

x > 11 / 3

x > 3.6666...

The smallest value would be 4.

Answer 2

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x + 5 > 16 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3x > 11 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x > $\frac{11}{3}$ , that is

x > 3 $\frac{2}{3}$

If x is an integer then the smallest value of x is 4
