Given: 5 > x + 7.

choose the solution set.

{x | x r, x > -2}
{x | x r, x < -2}
{x | x r, x > 2}
{x | x r, x < 2}

x is less than negative 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the properties of addition, we move the 7 over to the five, making it negative.

This makes negative 2 because we subtract 7 from 5.

Then, we can flip the equation to understand it better, making the x in the front.

This makes the final solution x is less than -2
