Answer :

Integers 3, 4, 5 are solution to given inequality

Solution:

Given is:

[tex](x - 1) + 3\geq 5[/tex]

We have to determine whether each of the integers from -5 to 5 is a solution of the equation

Substitute x = -5

[tex]-5-1 + 3\geq 5\\\\-3\geq 5[/tex]

But the above equation is not true

Therefore, x = -5 is not a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = -4

[tex]-4-1+3\geq 5\\\\-2\geq 5[/tex]

But the above equation is not true

Therefore, x = -4 is not a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = -3

[tex]-3-1+3\geq 5\\\\-1\geq 5[/tex]

But the above equation is not true

Therefore, x = -3 is not a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = -2

[tex]-2-1+3\geq 5\\\\0\geq 5[/tex]

But the above equation is not true

Therefore, x = -2 is not a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = -1

[tex]-1-1+3\geq 5\\\\1\geq 5[/tex]

But the above equation is not true

Therefore, x = -1 is not a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = 0

[tex]0-1+3\geq 5\\\\2\geq 5[/tex]

But the above equation is not true

Therefore, x = 0 is not a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = 1

[tex]1-1+3\geq 5\\\\3\geq 5[/tex]

But the above equation is not true

Therefore, x = 1 is not a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = 2

[tex]2-1+3\geq 5\\\\1+3\geq 5\\\\4\geq 5[/tex]

But the above equation is not true

Therefore, x = 2 is not a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = 3

[tex]3-1+3\geq 5\\\\5\geq 5[/tex]

Thus the above equation is true

Therefore, x = 3 is a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = 4

[tex]4-1+3\geq 5\\\\6\geq 5[/tex]

Thus the above equation is true

Therefore, x = 4 is a solution to given inequality

Substitute x = 5

[tex]5-1+3\geq 5\\\\7\geq 5[/tex]

Thus the above equation is true

Therefore, x = 5 is a solution to given inequality
