To solve the inequality \(-2x + 5 > 7\), let's follow the steps:

Question 1: Order the Steps

Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides.
This gives us:
\(-2x > 2\)

Step 2: Divide both sides by -2.
Remember to flip the inequality sign when dividing by a negative.
This gives us:
\(x < -1\)

Step 3: Write the solution.

Question 2: Solution to the Inequality

The solution to the inequality \(-2x + 5 > 7\) is:
x < -1
