I do not see any trick of this question. Simply solve for x and it comes down to x < 7.

Let's solve this inequality.
1. Separate members with x and without x in different sides:
-2+37>5x,
35>5x.
2. Rewrite it in reverse order:
5<35.
3. Divide by 5:
x<7 - all real numbers less than 7 are solutions.
