Answer to Problem 5.1.1.5P

  $x\ge 2y+1$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The number of apartment in M’s building isatleast one more than twice as many as the number of apartment in J’s

building.

Calculation:

Let the number of apartment in M’s building be x

Let the number of apartment in J’s building be y

Now according to Question:-

Double the number of apartment of J’s building then new apartments will be equal to 2y.

Now it is also given that the number of apartment in M’s building is atleast one more than twice as many as the number of apartment in J’sbuilding.

Therefore the equation is:-

  $x\ge 2y+1$
