Math Problem Statement
Solution
We are given the inequality:
and we are tasked with finding the integer values of in the interval that satisfy this inequality.
Step 1: Solve the inequality
Start by isolating :
Subtract 8 from both sides:
Now, divide both sides by , remembering to flip the inequality sign (since dividing by a negative reverses the inequality):
Step 2: Find integer values in the interval
We are looking for integer values of that are both greater than and within the interval . The integers greater than and less than or equal to 3 are:
Final Answer:
The integer values of that satisfy the inequality are:
