Answers: {4, 5}

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We have some number n and we're adding 1 to it to get n+1.

This n+1 is larger than 4. We want to find which values make n+1 > 4 true.

To find out, undo the operation "add 1" by subtracting 1 from both sides

n+1 > 4

n+1-1 > 4-1

n+0 > 3

n > 3

Anything larger than 3 will work. So that means {4,5} is the solution set from the original list of values.

For instance, if we tried n = 5, then

n+1 > 4

5+1 > 4 ... replace n with 5

6 > 4 ... true statement

But if we tried n = 1, then,

n+1 > 4

1+1 > 4

2 > 4 ... false; this shows n = 1 isn't in the solution set.
