Solution
It seems like there are some missing parts in your question, making it difficult to understand what you're asking. However, I'll try to explain based on what I can gather.
The statement "if 0 < |x − 5| < 𝛿 then 5 < 𝜀" is a way of expressing the definition of a limit in calculus. It's saying that for any positive number 𝜀, no matter how small, we can find a positive number 𝛿 such that if the distance between x and 5 is less than 𝛿 (but not zero), then the distance between 5x - 7 and 18 is less than 𝜀.
The choice of 𝛿 = 𝜀/5 is a way to ensure this condition is met. The proof then shows that if 0 < |x − 5| < 𝛿, then |(5x − 7) − 18| < 𝜀, confirming that the choice of 𝛿 works.
Finally, the statement "lim x → 5 5x − 7 = 18" is the conclusion that the limit as x approaches 5 of the function 5x - 7 is 18, which is what the initial conditions and proof were leading up to.

Prove the statement using the 𝜀, 𝛿 definition of a limit. lim x → 1 7 + 2x3 = 3Given 𝜀 > 0, we need 𝛿 such that if 0 < |x − 1| < 𝛿, then 7 + 2x3 − 3 . But 7 + 2x3 − 3 < 𝜀 ⇔ 2x − 23 < 𝜀 ⇔ 23|x − 1| < 𝜀 ⇔ |x − 1| < . So if we choose 𝛿 = , then 0 < |x − 1| < 𝛿 ⇒ 7 + 2x3 − 3 < 𝜀. Thus, lim x → 1 7 + 2x3 = 3 by the definition of a limit.
