There were 2017 inhabitants on an island. Some of them were truth-tellers and the others were liars. The truth-tellers always tell the truth and the liars always lie. Every day, one of the inhabitants said: "After my departure the number of truth-tellers on the island will equal the number of liars" and then left the island. After 2017 days, there is nobody on the island. How many liars were there initially?

the correct answer is the second option

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
