To determine which number is a possible value for x, we need to solve the compound inequality and then check which of the given numbers satisfies the solution.

 

Solve the first inequality x + 4 > 7:

x + 4 > 7

x + 4 - 4 > 7 - 4 (subtract 4 from both sides)

x > 3

 

Solve the second inequality 2x - 1 < -5:

2x - 1 < -5

2x - 1 + 1 < -5 + 1 (add 1 to both sides)

2x < -4

2x/2 < -4/2 (divide both sides by 2)

x < -2
