x3+45<53

                                      Subtract  45  from both sides of the inequality.

x3+4545<5345

 

x3<5345

                                      Get a common denominator on the right side.

x3<53554533

 

x3<25151215

                                      Combine the fractions on the right side.

x3<1315

                                      Multiply both sides by  3 , a positive number.

x33<13153

 

x<3915

                                      And  3915  =  2.6

x<2.6

 

What is the largest integer  x  such that  x < 2.6   ?

 

What is the largest integer less than  2.6 ?

 

The largest integer less than  2.6  is  2 , so

 

x  =  2
