13) Solve the inequality and graph: x

5 > 2

a. x < 7
b. x > 7
c. x > 10
d. x < 10

1 answer

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x.

Given: x/5 > 2.

Multiplying both sides of the inequality by 5 (since the coefficient of x is 5) gives us:
x > 10.

The solution to the inequality is:
x > 10.

To graph this inequality on a number line, we draw an open circle on 10 and shade to the right, indicating that all values greater than 10 are solutions to the inequality.

Therefore, the correct answer is: c. x > 10.
