To solve the inequality \(\frac{4}{7}x - \frac{2}{7} > \frac{5}{7}\), we need to isolate \(x\).

First, we can move the \(\frac{2}{7}\) to the right side by adding it to both sides of the inequality:

\(\frac{4}{7}x > \frac{5}{7} + \frac{2}{7}\)

Simplifying the right side:

\(\frac{4}{7}x > \frac{7}{7}\)

\(\frac{4}{7}x > 1\)

Next, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by \(\frac{7}{4}\) (the reciprocal of \(\frac{4}{7}\)) to solve for \(x\). However, since we want \(x\) to be in simplified mixed number form, we can rearrange the inequality and solve it in that form.

\(\frac{4}{7}x > 1\)

\(x > \frac{7}{4}\)

The mixed number form of \(\frac{7}{4}\) is \(1 \frac{3}{4}\).

Therefore, the solution to the inequality in mixed number form is \(x > 1 \frac{3}{4}\).
