If (x\in\mathbb{Z}) and (1\le\frac{5x-2}{3}<8), how many values of (x) are there?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5

The governing idea is to solve the compound inequality first and then count only the integer points in the resulting interval. Since 3 is positive, multiplying 1\le(5x-2)/3<8 by 3 preserves both inequality signs: 3\le5x-2<24. Adding 2 throughout gives 5\le5x<26. Dividing by positive 5 yields 1\le x<26/5, or 1\le x<5.2. Because x is restricted to the integers, the possible values are x=1,2,3,4,5, exactly five values. The upper endpoint 26/5 is not an integer and is excluded anyway, while x=1 is included because the left inequality is non-strict. Hence option B is correct. Options A, C, and D result from miscounting an endpoint or ignoring the integer restriction.
