Question

If 2 times an integer x is increased by 7, the result is always greater than 16 but less than 29.

Answer 1

Answer:

X=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Turning the question into a formulae

2X + 5 > 16; and 2X + 5 < 29

Let’s start by calculating the lower limit

2X + 5 = 16

X = (16–5)/2

X = 11/2 = 5.5

X > 5.5

The lowest value of X is infinitesimally close to 5.5, but greater than 5.5.
