Question

If $x>5$, then the correct inequality according to the given diagram is .

• A. $x-2>3$
• B. $x-3>3$
• C. $x+1>3$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $x-2>3$

Given, $x>5$
$x>5$ can be represented as,

Now, to get to the diagram given in the question, i.e.,

We need to shift 2 units to the left side.
$\therefore$ Subtracting $2$ from both the sides of the inequality $x>5$
$\Rightarrow x-2>5-2$
$\Rightarrow x-2>3$, whose diagram is shown in the question.
