To determine which inequalities have the numbers 5, 6, and 7 as solutions, we will test each inequality one by one.

  1. Inequality: \( 3x - 4 > 11 \)

    • For x = 5: \( 3(5) - 4 > 11 \) \( 15 - 4 > 11 \) \( 11 > 11 \) (False)

    • For x = 6: \( 3(6) - 4 > 11 \) \( 18 - 4 > 11 \) \( 14 > 11 \) (True)

    • For x = 7: \( 3(7) - 4 > 11 \) \( 21 - 4 > 11 \) \( 17 > 11 \) (True)

    Thus, only x = 6 and x = 7 satisfy this inequality.

  2. Inequality: \( x + 10 \neq 15 \)

    • For x = 5: \( 5 + 10 \neq 15 \) \( 15 \neq 15 \) (False)

    • For x = 6: \( 6 + 10 \neq 15 \) \( 16 \neq 15 \) (True)

    • For x = 7: \( 7 + 10 \neq 15 \) \( 17 \neq 15 \) (True)

    Thus, x = 6 and x = 7 satisfy this inequality, but not x = 5.

  3. Inequality: \( 15 - x < 10 \)

    • For x = 5: \( 15 - 5 < 10 \) \( 10 < 10 \) (False)

    • For x = 6: \( 15 - 6 < 10 \) \( 9 < 10 \) (True)

    • For x = 7: \( 15 - 7 < 10 \) \( 8 < 10 \) (True)

    Thus, x = 6 and x = 7 satisfy this inequality, but not x = 5.

  4. Inequality: \( 3x + 4 \geq 16 \)

    • For x = 5: \( 3(5) + 4 \geq 16 \) \( 15 + 4 \geq 16 \) \( 19 \geq 16 \) (True)

    • For x = 6: \( 3(6) + 4 \geq 16 \) \( 18 + 4 \geq 16 \) \( 22 \geq 16 \) (True)

    • For x = 7: \( 3(7) + 4 \geq 16 \) \( 21 + 4 \geq 16 \) \( 25 \geq 16 \) (True)

    Thus, all values of x = 5, x = 6, and x = 7 satisfy this inequality.

Conclusion: The inequality that has x = 5, x = 6, and x = 7 as solutions is \( 3x + 4 \geq 16 \).
