Answer:

(d) If you add 5 to a, it will be greater than b

Explanation:

You want to know the proper description of (a, b) as a solution to y < x +5.

Substitution

The ordered pair (a, b) is a solution to the inequality y < x +5 when substituting 'a' and 'b' for x and y results in a true statement. When we make that substitution, we have ...

b < a +5

We can swap sides to get ...

a +5 > b

In English, this says "if you add 5 to a, it will be greater than b" matching choice D.
