If $x$ is an integer, find the greatest value of $x$ which satisfies $5 - 3x \geq x - 11$.

Question

Accepted Answer

4. Solving 5 - 3x ≥ x - 11: add 3x to both sides to get 5 ≥ 4x - 11, then add 11 to get 16 ≥ 4x, so x ≤ 4. Since x is an integer, the greatest value is 4. Choosing 3 is a common error from mishandling the inequality sign.
