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 will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the Inequation Start with the given inequation: \[ 2 + \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq \frac{2x - 1}{4} + 3 \] ### Step 2: Move Constants to One Side Subtract \( 2 \) from both sides: \[ \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq \frac{2x - 1}{4} + 1 \] ### Step 3: Combine the Right Side Convert \( 1 \) to a fraction with a common denominator: \[ 1 = \frac{4}{4} \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq \frac{2x - 1 + 4}{4} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq \frac{2x + 3}{4} \] ### Step 4: Eliminate the Fractions To eliminate the fractions, multiply both sides by \( 20 \) (the least common multiple of 5 and 4): \[ 20 \cdot \frac{3x - 1}{5} \leq 20 \cdot \frac{2x + 3}{4} \] This simplifies to: \[ 4(3x - 1) \leq 5(2x + 3) \] ### Step 5: Distribute Distributing on both sides gives: \[ 12x - 4 \leq 10x + 15 \] ### Step 6: Rearrange the Inequation Now, move \( 10x \) to the left side and \( -4 \) to the right side: \[ 12x - 10x \leq 15 + 4 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x \leq 19 \] ### Step 7: Solve for \( x \) Dividing both sides by 2 gives: \[ x \leq \frac{19}{2} \] Which 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: \[ \boxed{9} \]
