Question

What is the solution set of the above question ?
​

Answer 1

The solution set is { } or ∅ ⇒ empty set

Explanation:

∵ 2x + 10 < 10

→ Subtract 10 from the two sides of the inequality

∵ 2x + 10 - 10 < 10 - 10

∴ 2x < 0

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴
`(2x)/(2)` <
`(0)/(2)`

∴ x < 0

∴ The solutions are all the negative numbers

∵ x ∈ N

∵ N is the set of Natural numbers

→ The natural numbers start at 1 and include all positive whole numbers

∴ N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..............}

∵ N does not contain any negative numbers

∴ The solution set is an empty set ⇒ ∅

∴ The solution set is { } or ∅
