Solution

The correct option is D x>10
Given, x+5>15

Subtract both sides of the inequality by 5 to eliminate 5 on the left side of the inequality.
Also, subtracting the same number from each side of an inequality does not change the direction of the inequality symbol.
x+55>155x>10

Hence, solution of the inequality x+5>15 is x>10.
