Solution

The correct option is C
$\frac{x - 5}{3} > 18$

Let the number is $x$
Then $5$ is subtracted from $x$ , so it results to $x - 5$
Then it is divided by $3$ , it results to $\frac{x - 5}{3}$
This is greater than $18$ , Hence we can write $\frac{x - 5}{3} > 18$
Hence option C is the correct option
