Which statement is the negation of x ≥ 5?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x < 5

The statement x ≥ 5 means that x is either equal to 5 or greater than 5. Its negation must include every real number that fails this condition and exclude every number that satisfies it. Those values are precisely the numbers less than 5, so the negation is x < 5 and option A is correct. The endpoint is important: x = 5 satisfies the original statement, so it cannot belong to its negation. Option B is too broad because it includes 5, option C is only a subset of the original statement rather than its opposite, and option D describes just one value, not all values that contradict x ≥ 5.
