Let's solve the inequality step-by-step again to ensure we find the correct solution.
We want to solve the inequality:
\[
\frac{1}{4}x - \frac{3}{4} > 5
\]
-
Add \(\frac{3}{4}\) to both sides:
\[
\frac{1}{4}x > 5 + \frac{3}{4}
\]
First, we convert \(5\) into a fraction with a denominator of \(4\):
\[
5 = \frac{20}{4}
\]
Now adding:
\[
5 + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{20}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{23}{4}
\]
So, the inequality becomes:
\[
\frac{1}{4}x > \frac{23}{4}
\]
-
Multiply both sides by \(4\):
\[
x > 23
\]
It seems I made an error initially by not properly addressing the solution set in the context of the provided options. If none of the options you provided match \(x > 23\), let me look closely at the possible options you've listed again:
- \(x > \frac{2}{4}\)
- \(x > 18\)
- \(x > \frac{21}{4}\)
- \(x > \frac{3}{2}\)
The closest response to the solution \(x > 23\) is indeed not in the provided options, but comparing \(x > 21 \frac{3}{4} (which is \frac{87}{4})\), if interpreted as greater, isn't an option.
Conclusion
I'll recheck if they meant a surrounding range or other contextual adjustments beyond standard calculations. However, purely calculatively, the correct resolution remains:
\[
x > 23
\]
If you were to clarify any options or further parameters of consideration, feel free to let me know!
