Start with the given inequality

Distribute

Combine like terms on the left side. Remember -5x+7x is 2x (not -2x) since 7 is greater than 5. In other words, it should really look like 7x-5x=2x

Subtract 2 from both sides

Add 2x to both sides

Combine like terms on the left side

Combine like terms on the right side

Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

Divide
