If A = {x ∈ ℕ : x + 5 = x}, choose the correct statement about A.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A = ∅

Subtracting x from both sides of x + 5 = x gives 5 = 0, which is a contradiction. Thus no natural number, or any number at all, satisfies the condition. A set containing no elements is the empty set, so A = ∅. It is not {5}, because x = 5 gives 10 = 5.
