Which of the following values of $x$ satisfies the inequality $3x + 4 > 19$ ?

$3$

$4$

$5$

$6$

Show answer and explanation

Answer: D

Subtract 4 from both sides: $3x > 15$ . Divide by 3: $x > 5$ . Of the choices, only 6 is greater than 5.

Choice C makes the two sides equal, but the inequality is strict, so $x = 5$ is not a solution.
