7 < x < 13
7 < x < 13

7 < x < 11
7 < x < 11

5 < x < 16
5 < x < 16

Answer 1

To solve this inequality, you need to isolate the variable x.

Starting with the given inequality:

5 < x - 2 < 11

First, add 2 to all parts of the inequality to isolate x:

5 + 2 < x - 2 + 2 < 11 + 2

This simplifies to:

7 < x < 13

So, the solution to the inequality is 7 < x < 13.

Therefore, the correct option is: 7 < x < 13.
