To find the solution set, we need to solve the inequality for x.
Starting with −2x + 5 > 7, we first subtract 5 from both sides:
−2x > 7 - 5
−2x > 2
Next, we divide both sides by -2. Since we are dividing by a negative number, we need to flip the inequality symbol:
x < 2/-2
x < -1
Therefore, the solution set for −2x + 5 > 7 is x < -1.
