a = 23x
a = 23x

a = 23+x
a = 23+x

a > 23x
a > 23x

a > 13x
a > 13x

To solve the inequality ax5>18 for a, follow these steps:

  1. Add 5 to both sides: ax>23

  2. Divide both sides by x (assuming x0): a>23x

Since we're looking for the relationship between a and x, the simplified form shows that a must be greater than 23x.

However, comparing this with the responses provided, none of them straightforwardly match our result. If we assume a specific value for x, for instance x=1, then a>23.

Thus, the most relevant response, considering the inequality suggests that a is dependent on x, would likely be interpreted as:

a > 23x

This means the correct choice from your options is:

  • a > 23x
