Step-by-step explanation:

To know if a = 3 satisfy the inequality, we need to replace a by 3 as:

7 + a < 11

7 + 3 < 11

Since 10 is less than 11, we can say that a = 3 satisfies the inequality.

In the same way, for a = 4, we get:

7 + a < 11

7 + 4 < 11

11 < 11

Since 11 is equal to 11, we can say that a = 3 doesn't satisfy the inequality.

For a = 5, we get:

7 + a < 11

7 + 5 < 11

12 < 11

Since 12 is greater than 11, we
