If 7x + 2 ≥ x - 2 and 7 + 2x ≥ 3 + 3x; then x can take which of the following values?
Expression 1 : 7x + 2 ≥ x - 2
=> $$7x-x \geq -2-2$$
=> $$6x \geq -4$$
=> $$x \geq \frac{-2}{3}$$ ---------(i)
Expression 2 : 7 + 2x ≥ 3 + 3x
=> $$3x-2x \leq 7-3$$
=> $$x \leq 4$$ --------(ii)
Combining inequalities (i) and (ii), we get : $$\frac{-2}{3} \leq x \leq 4$$
The only value that $$x$$ can take among the options = 3
=> Ans - (B)
