Answer:

We conclude that when we put x = 11, it does not satisfy the inequality.

Hence, option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given the inequality

x - 7 > 12

Any value which makes the inequality FALSE would be the value that not satisfy the inequality.

Putting x = 11 in the inequality

x - 7 > 12

11 - 7 > 12

4 > 12

FALSE!

Reason: 4 can not be greater than 12

Putting x = 33 in the inequality

x - 7 > 12

33 - 7 > 12

26 > 12

TRUE!

Reason: 26 is indeed greater than 12

Putting x = 22 in the inequality

x - 7 > 12

22 - 7 > 12

15 > 12

TRUE!

Reason: 15 is indeed greater than 12

Putting x = 44 in the inequality

x - 7 > 12

44 - 7 > 12

37 > 12

TRUE!

Reason: 37 is indeed greater than 12

Therefore, we conclude that when we put x = 11, it does not satisfy the inequality.

Hence, option (A) is correct.
