When solving the inequality 5x + 3 > 10, what is the value of x?

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 4

  4. 5

The correct answer is: 2

To solve this inequality, we need to get x by itself on one side of the inequality. To do this, we first subtract 3 from both sides to get 5x > 7. Then, we divide both sides by 5 to isolate x. This gives us x > 1.4, which means that any value of x greater than 1.4 would make the inequality true. Therefore, the value of x can be any number greater than 1.4, including 2, which is the only option greater than 1.4. Options B, C, and D are all less than 1.4 and would not make the inequality true.
