Step 1. 23x<100⇒x<10023≈4.3523x<100\Rightarrow x<\dfrac{100}{23}\approx4.35.

Step 2 (i). Restricting to natural numbers x∈N={1,2,3,…}x\in N=\{1,2,3,\ldots\} with x<4.35x<4.35 gives x∈{1,2,3,4}x\in\{1,2,3,4\}.

Step 3 (ii). Restricting to integers with x<4.35x<4.35 gives every integer up to and including 44: x∈{…,−2,−1,0,1,2,3,4}x\in\{\ldots,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4\}.

✓Final answer

  1. x∈{1,2,3,4}x\in\{1,2,3,4\};
  2. all integers x≤4x\le4.
