Wrong

Why is it theta? I don't understand..

mertsj · Answer

The second one simplifies to 5 = 5 which is true.  So the second one has every number as a solution.

anonymous · Answer

so the second one?

mertsj · Answer

The third one simplifies to 5=-5 which can never be true regardless of what you substitute for m so choose the third one because the problem says which of these equations has the solution set that is the empty set.  That is the symbol for the empty set NOT THETA
