Choice C is the correct answer. Test each value.

1. Solve: $x > 5$
2. Test $x = 5$: $5 > 5$ is FALSE
3. Boundary: $x = 5$ is the boundary, not included.

💡 Strategic Tip: Strict inequality ($>$) excludes the boundary value.

Choice A is incorrect because$6 > 5$ is true. Choice B is incorrect because$7 > 5$ is true. Choice D is incorrect because$10 > 5$ is true.
