Is 0 not counted?

How many possible positive integer values are there for k if -24 < 9k – 6 ≤ 3?

0 is neither positive not negative, so no, k cannot be 0.

The question stem is asking for all positive integer values . Moreover zero is a non negative integer, thus it is not counted.

How many possible positive integer values are there for k if -24 < 9k – 6 ≤ 3?


A) Zero
B) One
C) Two
D) Three
E) Four

Simplifying the given inequality, we have:

-24 < 9k – 6 ≤ 3

-18 < 9k ≤ 9

-2 < k ≤ 1

So k can be -1, 0, or 1. There is only one positive value among these possible values for k, which is 1.

Answer: B

Add 6 throughout the inequality

-24 + 6 < 9k ≤ 9

-1 < k ≤ 1
