The problem is asking to solve the inequality:

$2x - 5 > 3$

Let's solve it step by step:

Step 1: Add 5 to both sides of the inequality

$2x - 5 + 5 > 3 + 5$ This simplifies to: $2x > 8$

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2

$x > \frac{8}{2}$ This simplifies to: $x > 4$

Thus, the solution is $x > 4$.

The correct answer from the options is:

• a. $x > 4$
