Answer 1

(a) & (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`x + 5 > 14`

Required

Which values of x makes the inequality true

First, we need to solve the inequality

`x + 5 > 14`

Subtract 5 from both sides

`x + 5-5>14 - 5`

`x >9`

This means that for the inequality to be true, x must be greater than 9.

i.e.

`x = 10, 11, 12 ....`

From the list of given options:

Option (a) is true because 21, 22 and 23 > 9

Option (b) is false because 6, 7 and 8 < 9

Option (c) is false because only 10 and 11 > 9 but 9 < 9

Option (d) is true because 18, 19 and 20 > 9
