The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequation \( 2 + \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq \frac{2x - 1}{4} + 3 \) and find the greatest value of \( x \) when \( x \) is a natural number, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Inequation Start with the given inequation: \[ 2 + \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq \frac{2x - 1}{4} + 3 \] ### Step 2: Move the Constant to the Right Subtract 2 from both sides: \[ \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq \frac{2x - 1}{4} + 1 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the Right Side Combine the terms on the right: \[ \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq \frac{2x - 1 + 4}{4} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq \frac{2x + 3}{4} \] ### Step 4: Clear the Fractions To eliminate the fractions, find a common denominator, which is 20: \[ 20 \cdot \left(\frac{3x - 1}{5}\right) \leq 20 \cdot \left(\frac{2x + 3}{4}\right) \] This gives: \[ 4(3x - 1) \leq 5(2x + 3) \] ### Step 5: Distribute Distributing both sides: \[ 12x - 4 \leq 10x + 15 \] ### Step 6: Rearrange the Inequation Move all terms involving \( x \) to one side and constant terms to the other: \[ 12x - 10x \leq 15 + 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x \leq 19 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( x \) Divide both sides by 2: \[ x \leq \frac{19}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ x \leq 9.5 \] ### Step 8: Find the Greatest Natural Number Since \( x \) must be a natural number, the greatest natural number less than or equal to 9.5 is: \[ x = 9 \] ### Final Answer The greatest value of \( x \) when \( x \) is a natural number is: \[ \boxed{9} \]
