let#x represent the greatest even number less than x. if 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm is it 28 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't see how you can make it larger than 28 but maybe i am missing something

OpenStudy (nory):

I agree with @satellite73 . My reasoning goes like this: x is at most 29, so #x is at most 28. So #5x - #4x = 28.

OpenStudy (nory):

Unless by #4x it means #4x, not 4(#x)?

OpenStudy (nory):

Well...I guess the answer would be the same either way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 30

OpenStudy (nory):

@lalaio how is it 30? How did you get 30?
