Answer:


x>-1

Explanation:

Solve for x:
-2x+5<7

To solve this inequality, we must minus 5 from both of the sides.


-2x+5-5<7-5

This equals


-2x<2

Now we'll make this into a fraction and divide both sides by -2.


(-2x)/(-2) <(2)/(-2)

After we divided, we got our answer.


x>-1

Hope this helps!
