Answer

True

Work Step by Step

Solve each equation/inequality to obtain: \begin{align*} x+1&=6\\ x&=6-1\\ x&=5 \end{align*} Thus, the solution set is $\left\{5\right\}$. \begin{align*} x+1&\lt6\\ x&\lt6-1\\ x&\lt5 \end{align*} Thus, the solution set is $\left\{x|x\lt5\right\}$. \begin{align*} x+1&\gt6\\ x&\gt6-1\\ x&\gt5 \end{align*} Thus, the solution set is $\left\{x|x\gt5\right\}$. Therefore, the union of the solution sets of is: \begin{align*} &=\left\{5\right\} \cup (-\infty, 5) \cup (5, +\infty)\\ &=(-\infty, +\infty) \end{align*} Hence, the given statement is true.
