21 HW Score: \( 15.11 \%, 4.53 \) of 30 points What is the solution set? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box within your choice. A. The solution set is \( \begin{array}{l}\text { (Type your answer in interval notation. Simplify your answer.) } \\ \text { (B. The solution set is the empty set. }\end{array} \)

The solution to the equation you're working with can be determined by analyzing it for possible values. If the equation leads to a contradiction, such as \(0 = 1\), this would indicate that there are no values that satisfy the equation, hence the solution set would be the empty set. On the flip side, if the equation simplifies into a valid interval or a set of values – say, \(x \geq 2\) or \(x \in (-\infty, 5)\) – then you'd format that solution set in interval notation. So be sure to simplify and check your work! If your calculations show no solutions, definitely choose option B. Happy solving!
