Final answer:

The provided inequality seems to have a typo and does not contain a variable 'x'. Assuming a corrected inequality 5|x + 2| < 25, the solution is -7 < x < 3 by considering the two cases for the absolute value. This solution is not listed among the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the solution to the inequality 5|2 + 11| < 25, we notice an apparent typographical error in the inequality expression, which does not contain a variable 'x'. However, assuming that the inequality should be 5|x + 2| < 25, we can find the solution by considering two cases depending on whether the expression inside the absolute value is positive or negative.

First Case (x + 2 >= 0):

  1. 5|x + 2| = 5(x + 2)
  2. 5x + 10 < 25
  3. 5x < 15
  4. x < 3

Second Case (x + 2 < 0):

  1. 5|x + 2| = 5(-(x + 2))
  2. 5(-x - 2) < 25
  3. -5x - 10 < 25
  4. -5x < 35
  5. x > -7

Combining both cases, the solution is -7 < x < 3, which is not one of the provided options. Therefore, we would need further clarification on the initial inequality to determine the correct answer.
