Answer:
- 19 ≤ 19 . . . true
- 19 < 19 . . . false
- x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A) A number cannot be less than itself, but can be equal to itself.
In each case, the left side of the inequality evaluates to 19:
4(5) -1 = 20 -1 = 19
It is true that 19 is less than or equal to 19. This is true because 19 = 19.
It is not true that 19 is less than 19. A number cannot be less than itself.

B) 5x +2 = 47
5x = 45 . . . . . . subtract 2 from both sides
x = 9 . . . . . . . . . divide both sides by 5
The element 9 from the set is the solution to the equation.
