Final answer:

To solve the inequality x-2>5, add 2 to both sides of the inequality. The solution set for x is all values greater than 7. From the given possible values for x, the solution set is {8,9,10}.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality x-2>5, we need to isolate x. We can do this by adding 2 to both sides of the inequality:

x - 2 + 2 > 5 + 2

This simplifies to:

x > 7

The solution set for x-2>5 is all values of x that are greater than 7. From the given possible values for x, {4,5,6,7,8,9,10}, the solution set is {8,9,10}.
