QuestionFind the largest integer pp such that 2p+4352p + 4 \leq 35. A. 5 B. 6 C. 15 D. 16 E. 30

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The product of and an integer pp is increased by4. The result is less than or equal to353. We are looking for the largest possible value for pp

STEP 2

First, we need to write down the inequality according to the problem statement.
2p+4352p +4 \leq35

STEP 3

To isolate pp, we first need to subtract from both sides of the inequality.
2p+352p + - \leq35 -

STEP 4

implify the inequality.
2p312p \leq31

STEP 5

Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by2 to solve for pp.
2p2312\frac{2p}{2} \leq \frac{31}{2}

STEP 6

implify the inequality.
p15.5p \leq15.5

STEP 7

Since pp must be an integer, we take the largest integer less than or equal to15.5, which is15.
So, the largest possible value for pp is15. Therefore, the correct answer is C.15.
