To solve this system of inequalities, we can first solve each inequality separately:
For x - 2 > 5:
Add 2 to both sides to isolate x:
x - 2 + 2 > 5 + 2
x > 7
For x - 2 < 7:
Add 2 to both sides to isolate x:
x - 2 + 2 < 7 + 2
x < 9
Therefore, the solution to the system of inequalities is:
7 < x < 9
x−2>5and
x−2<7
