Se a solution process below:

First, add #color(red)(5)# to each side of the inequality to isolate the #t# term while keeping the inequality balanced:

#4t - 5 + color(red)(5) > 11 + color(red)(5)#

#4t - 0 > 16#

#4t > 16#

Now, divide each side of the inequality by #color(red)(4)# to solve for #t# while keeping the inequality balanced:

#(4t)/color(red)(4) > 16/color(red)(4)#

#(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))t)/cancel(color(red)(4)) > 4#

#t > 4#
