The given inequality is expressed as


x(14\text{ + x) > 11}

The inequality sign is that og 'Greater than'

This means that the left hand side must be greater than 11

We would substitute the given values and choose the one that gives a value greater than 11. Looking at the options, 5 is the correct answer. Let us put x into the given inequality

5(14 + 5) > 11

95 > 11

If we try the other options, their results are lesser than 11.

Therefore, the correct option is 5
