we need to move the 5 to the left side in order to be left with zero:

(7x/2)-5\ \textless \ 0
Rewrite/simplify the equation:

(7x-(5*2))/(2)= (7x-10)/(2)
Simplify:

(7x-10)/(2) \ \textless \ 0
Evaluate/Solve the equation :

(7x-10)/(2)=0*2 \\ 7x-10=0 \\ 7x-10=-10 \\ 7x=-10 \\ (7x)/(7)= (-10)/(7) \\ x= (-10)/(7)
