Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x + 1) -x = 17 Distribute the 5

5x + 5 - x = 17 Combine like terms

4x + 5 = 17 Subtract 5 from both sides

4x = 12 Divide both sides by 4

x = 3

Three is the smaller integer and 4 is the greater integer.

You did south, north, correctly

but last one

twice north is 2 times (x+48) or 2x+96

so

s=x
n=x+48
c=4x
s+c>2x+96
subsitute s for x and 4x for c
x+4x>2x+96
5x>2x+96
minus 2x both sides
3x>96
divide both sides by 3
x>32
it cannot be equal to 32 so
the minimum value is 33 spaces in south car park

Answer:

$\sqrt{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

$\sqrt{\frac{a}{b} }$ ⇔ $\frac{\sqrt{a} }{\sqrt{b} }$

$\frac{\sqrt{21} }{\sqrt{3} }$ = $\sqrt{\frac{21}{3} }$ = $\sqrt{7}$
