Answer:


\large\boxed{x>-1}

Explanation:

In this question, we're trying to solve for x.

In other words, we're going to need to get x by itself in order to get our answer for the inequality.

Solve:


-2x + 5 <7\\\\\text{Subtract 5 on both sides to get -2x by itself}\\\\-2x<2\\\\\text{Divide both sides by -2}\\\\\text{Since you're dividing by a negative, the} < \text{will flip to} >\\\\x>-1

When you're done solving, you should get x > -1

This means that when you solve for x, you should get x > -1

I hope this helped you out.

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!
