Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed {x > -1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following inequality:

$-2x + 5 < 7$

-Subtract $5$ to both sides:

$-2x + 5 - 5 < 7 - 5$

$-2x < 2$

-When you are dividing an integer by a negative integer, the inequality sign changes. So, you divide both sides by $-2$:

$\frac{-2x}{-2} < \frac{2}{-2}$

$\boxed {x > -1}$
