B.x>1

C. x<−2

D. x<−1

Answer 1

To solve the inequality −2x+5 > 7, we can start by subtracting 5 from both sides:

−2x > 2

Next, we can divide both sides by -2. Remember when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign must flip:

x < -1

Therefore, the solution set for the given inequality is x < -1.

The correct answer is D. x < -1.
