Answer:
(a) & (d)
Explanation:
Given
[tex]x + 5 > 14[/tex]
Required
Which values of x makes the inequality true
First, we need to solve the inequality
[tex]x + 5 > 14[/tex]
Subtract 5 from both sides
[tex]x + 5-5>14 - 5[/tex]
[tex]x >9[/tex]
This means that for the inequality to be true, x must be greater than 9.
i.e.
[tex]x = 10, 11, 12 ....[/tex]
From the list of given options:
Option (a) is true because 21, 22 and 23 > 9
Option (b) is false because 6, 7 and 8 < 9
Option (c) is false because only 10 and 11 > 9 but 9 < 9
Option (d) is true because 18, 19 and 20 > 9
