How many integers are there in the solution set of the inequality |x-2000|+|x| ≤9999

20,000 integers

Step-by-step explanation:

By triangular inequality,

|x - 2000 + x| ≤ |x-2000|+|x|

|x-2000|+|x| ≤ 9999

|x - 2000 + x| ≤ 9999

|2x - 2000| ≤ 9999

|x - 10000| ≤ 4999.5

x - 10000 ≤ 4999.5

x ≤ 4999.5

x ≤ 14999.5

- (x - 10000) ≤ 4999.5

-4999.5 ≤ x - 10000

-5000.5 ≤ x

All solutions:

-5000.5 ≤ x ≤ 14999.5

No. of inyegers:

14999 - (-5000) + 1

20,000 integers

9999

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the greatest value of x and the least value of x that satisfy the equation:

2x-2000 = 9999 (Yields the greatest solution)

2x + 2000 = - 9999 (Yields the least solution)

Solve both equations and you get:

3999.5 (Greatest solution)

-5999.5 (Least solution)

That means the range of integer solutions is between 3999 and - 5999 (inclusive). That means there are 9999 integral solutions
