The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \(\frac{2x + 3}{5} > \frac{4x - 1}{2}\), where \(x\) belongs to the set of whole numbers, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Eliminate the fractions by cross-multiplying We start with the inequality: \[ \frac{2x + 3}{5} > \frac{4x - 1}{2} \] Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ 2(2x + 3) > 5(4x - 1) \] ### Step 2: Distribute on both sides Distributing the terms, we get: \[ 4x + 6 > 20x - 5 \] ### Step 3: Rearrange the inequality Next, we want to get all terms involving \(x\) on one side and the constant terms on the other side. We can subtract \(4x\) from both sides: \[ 6 > 20x - 4x - 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ 6 > 16x - 5 \] ### Step 4: Isolate \(x\) Now, we add \(5\) to both sides: \[ 6 + 5 > 16x \] This simplifies to: \[ 11 > 16x \] or \[ 16x < 11 \] ### Step 5: Divide by 16 Now, we divide both sides by \(16\): \[ x < \frac{11}{16} \] ### Step 6: Determine whole number solutions Since \(x\) must be a whole number, we need to find whole numbers that are less than \(\frac{11}{16}\). The value of \(\frac{11}{16}\) is approximately \(0.6875\). The only whole number less than this value is \(0\). ### Conclusion Thus, the solution for \(x\) in whole numbers is: \[ x = 0 \]
