Find all real number x which satisfy the inequality \(\frac{1}{3}\) (x + 1) - 1 > \(\frac{1}{5}\)(x + 4) 

A

x < 11

B

x < -1

C

x > 6

D

x > 11

correct option: d

What we need is a solution set that satisfies the given inequality. Each value in the solution set will satisfy the inequality and no other value will satisfy the inequality.

\(\frac{1}{3}\) (x + 1) - 1 > \(\frac{1}{5}\)(x + 4)  = \(\frac{x + 1}{3} - 1\) > \(\frac{x + 4}{5}\) 

\(\frac{x + 1}{3} - \frac{x + 4}{5} -1\) > 0 

= \(\frac{5x + 5 - 3x - 12}{15}\) 

2x - 7 > 15

2x > 22

Divide through by 2:

x > 11
