Answer:
(-\infty, 7)

You can write this as (-infinity, 7) if you aren't able to use the infinity symbol.

====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of x < 7 as writing
-\infty < x < 7

So x is between negative infinity and 7, excluding both endpoints.

To write
-\infty < x < 7 in interval notation, we write
(-\infty, 7)

The curved parenthesis tell us to exclude the endpoint.
