Question

Which of the following is the solution of the given inequality 6x + 7 ≤ x - 28, where x is a natural number?

A.

No solution

B.

X ≥ 5

C.

x ≥ 3

D.

X ≤ -5

Correct option is A

We are given the inequality:6x+7x28Subtract x from both sides:5x+728Subtract 7 from both sides:5x35Divide by 5:x7Final Step: Check the domainWe are told that x is a natural number, but:x7This implies that there is no natural number satisfying this condition because natural numbers are:N={1,2,3,4, }\begin{aligned}&\text{We are given the inequality:} \\&6x + 7 \leq x - 28 \\[10pt]&\text{Subtract } x \text{ from both sides:} \\&5x + 7 \leq -28 \\[10pt]&\text{Subtract 7 from both sides:} \\&5x \leq -35 \\[10pt]&\text{Divide by 5:} \\&x \leq -7 \\[15pt]&\textbf{Final Step: Check the domain} \\[5pt]&\text{We are told that } x \text{ is a natural number, but:} \\&x \leq -7 \\[10pt]&\text{This implies that there is \textbf{no natural number} satisfying this condition because natural numbers are:} \\&\mathbb{N} = \{1, 2, 3, 4, \dots\}\end{aligned}​​
