Create an inequality that satisfies the first given. Thus, we add the distances and x and then divide it by 6. Use the greater than symbol.


\begin{gathered} (4.5+5.7+5.2+4.2+4.4+x)/(6)>5 \\ (24+x)/(6)>5 \\ 24+x>5(6) \\ 24+x>30 \\ x>30-24 \\ x>6 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the graph of the inequality must be an open circle on 6 and the shaded part is at the right of 6. Therefore, it must be option C.
