If 2 < 20x - 13 < 3. what is one possible value for x?

one possible value for x is 31/40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's isolate the 20x term.  Add 13 to all three terms:

2 + 13 < 20x - 13 + 13 < 3 + 13

and this simplifies to:

15 < 20x < 16

Dividing all three terms by 20, we get:

15/20 < x < 16/20

A fraction halfway between 15/20 and 16/20 is (31/20)/2, so

one possible value for x is 31/40.

Check by substituting this into the original equation and checking whether that equation is now true:

2 <20(31/40) - 13 < 3

or

2 < 31/2 < 16, or 2 < 15.5 < 16 (this is true, so 31/40 is a solution)
