If R is the set of real numbers, Q is the set of rational numbers, I is the set of integers, N is the set of natural numbers, and S is the set of irrational numbers, list the set(s)for which a solution to the given equation exists. If a solution to the given equation does not belong to any set, state none.
-$$3 - 2 x = 16$$
A) S, R
B) $Q , R$
C) I, Q, R
D) $Q$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation $3 - 2 x = 16$ can be solved to get $x = -6.5$. Since -6.5 is a rational number, the solution belongs to the set of rational numbers (Q) and the set of real numbers (R).

If R Is the Set of Real Numbers, Q Is 3−2x=163 - 2 x = 163−2x=16

If R Is the Set of Real Numbers, Q Is $3 - 2 x = 16$
