Natural numbers are the counting numbers: 1, 2, 3....


\n" ); document.write( "2x-1 <= 4


\n" ); document.write( "2x <= 5


\n" ); document.write( "x<=5/2 so x is 2 or 1.


\n" ); document.write( "2x+2y <= 7(use x=1)


\n" ); document.write( "2 + 2y <= 7


\n" ); document.write( "2y <= 5


\n" ); document.write( "y <= 5/2 so y = 2 or 1.


\n" ); document.write( "2x+2y <= 7 (use x=2)


\n" ); document.write( "4 + 2y <= 7


\n" ); document.write( "2y <= 3


\n" ); document.write( "y <= 3/2 so y = 1


\n" ); document.write( "Sometimes 0 is considered a natural number. In that case, any of the above could include 0 for y. And if x = 0:


\n" ); document.write( "2y <= 7


\n" ); document.write( "y <= 7/2 so y could be 3, 2, 1 or 0
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
