Answer: P(3) is True

Explanation:

The given statement is an inequality denoted as P(x). To find out which of the options is true you have to evaluate each given value of X in the inequality and perform the arithmetic operations, then you have to see if the expression makes sense.

For P(0): Replace X=0 in 2x+5>10

2(0)+5>10

0+5>10

5>10 is false because 5 is not greater than 10

For P(3): Replace X=3 in 2x+5>10

2(3)+5>10

6+5>10

11>10 is true because 11 is greater than 10

For P(2): Replace X=2 in 2x+5>10

2(2)+5>10

4+5>10

9>10 is false

For P(1): Replace X=1 in 2x+5>10

2(1)+5>10

2+5>10

7>10 is false
