Answer: BSet 3: Linear Inequalities
Explanation
If , what is the greatest integer value of ?
A.
B.
✓ Correct
C.
D.
Detailed Explanation
Choice B is correct. Choice B is the correct answer. Finding maximum integer values requires solving and identifying boundaries. 1. Multiply by 5: , giving 2. Subtract 8: 3. Divide by 4: 4. Greatest integer: Since , maximum is exactly 3 Strategic Tip: For inequalities, the boundary value itself is included in the solution set. Choice A is incorrect because while satisfies the inequality, it's not the GREATEST integer. Choice C is incorrect because does not satisfy (4 is greater than 3). Choice D is incorrect because exceeds the solution range.
