The given inequality 3x - 5 > 4 is TRUE when x>3 (the value of x should be greater than 3).

Explanation:

step 1:

The given inequality is 3x - 5 > 4

step 2:

Solve for x value to make the inequality true,

3x > 4+5

3x > 9

x > 9/3

x > 3

step 3:

when the value of x is greater than 3, then the given inequality 3x - 5 > 4 gets satisfied.

put x=3,

3(3) -5 > 4

9-5 > 4

4 > 4 (not satisfies the inequality)

put x=4 (greater than 3)

3(4) -5 > 4

12-5 > 4

7 > 4 (the inequality is satisfied)

Therefore, for x values greater than 3 (x>3), the inequality is true.
