Answer:

{0, 1}

Explanation:

Solving for 'x' in the inequality:


7x+3<17\\7x+3-3<17-3 \leftarrow \text{Subtraction Property of Equality}\\7x<14\\7x/7<14/7 \leftarrow \text{Division Property of Equality}\\\boxed{x<2}

X's value has to be less than two to make the inequality true. So, {0, 1} should be the correct answer.
