Question

One number is 1 less than a second number. Twice the second number is less than 4 times the first. find the smaller of the two numbers.

Answer 1

The number should be bigger than 2( 3,4,5,6....)

1st number=(x-1)

2nd number = x

2x<4(x-1)

2x<4x-4

-2x< -4

-x<-2

x>2

Example it could be 3

2x3 < 4(3-1)

6<4x2

6<8
