Solve : `7 gt 3x -8 , x in N`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \( 7 > 3x - 8 \) where \( x \) belongs to the natural numbers (N), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Inequality Start with the original inequality: \[ 7 > 3x - 8 \] ### Step 2: Add 8 to Both Sides To isolate the term with \( x \), add 8 to both sides of the inequality: \[ 7 + 8 > 3x \] This simplifies to: \[ 15 > 3x \] ### Step 3: Rewrite the Inequality We can rewrite the inequality as: \[ 3x < 15 \] ### Step 4: Divide Both Sides by 3 Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 3 to solve for \( x \): \[ x < \frac{15}{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ x < 5 \] ### Step 5: Identify Natural Number Solutions Since \( x \) must be a natural number (N), we consider the natural numbers less than 5. The natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4. Therefore, the possible values for \( x \) are: \[ x = 1, 2, 3, 4 \] ### Final Solution The solution set for \( x \) in natural numbers is: \[ \{1, 2, 3, 4\} \] ---
