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:
\[
\boxed{9}
\]
