Answer: x>13

Explanation:

To start, we have to analyze the question and it will just write it out itself!

First, it says x is added to 5 so the first part will be x+5

then x+5 is more than 18, so x+5 will have the bigger side of the inequality creating the inequality of x+5>18

(think of the crocodile method! "a hungry crocodile wants to eat as much as possible, its mouth needs to face towards the larger number")

To go further you can subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the x giving our final answer of x>13
