Lim_(x->oo)x=oo

Explanation:

Break the problem down into words: "What happens to a function, x, as we continue increasing x without bound?"

x would also increase without bound, or go to oo.

Graphically, this tells us that as we continue heading right on the x-axis (increasing values of x, going to oo) our function, which is just a line in this case, keeps heading upwards (increasing) with no restrictions.
