Let P (x) denote the statement "2x+5 > 10." Which of the following is true?

P (0)

P (3)

P (2)

P (1)

Answer: P (3) is True

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement is an inequality denoted as P (x). To find out which of the options is true you have to evaluate each given value of X in the inequality and perform the arithmetic operations, then you have to see if the expression makes sense.

For P (0) : Replace X=0 in 2x+5>10

2 (0) + 5>10

0+5>10

5>10 is false because 5 is not greater than 10

For P (3) : Replace X=3 in 2x+5>10

2 (3) + 5>10

6+5>10

11>10 is true because 11 is greater than 10

For P (2) : Replace X=2 in 2x+5>10

2 (2) + 5>10

4+5>10

9>10 is false

For P (1) : Replace X=1 in 2x+5>10

2 (1) + 5>10

2+5>10

7>10 is false
