Solution of a linear inequality in variable x is represented on the number line as shown in the given figure. The solution can also be described as

(a) x ∈ (–∞, 5)
(b) x ∈ (–∞, 5]
(c) x ∈ [5, ∞)
(d) x ∈ (5, ∞)

Solution

Since, number line representing solution does not include 5.
But, include every value after 5
∴ Solution can be described by
x ∈ (5, ∞)
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
