To solve this, you perform the same steps as if the ">" is an equal sign until the very end...

subtract 7x from each side to get
to get
then add 5 to each side
to get
next divide each side by 2
to get
and simplify

and put the variable on the left side

the reason the direction of the sign changes is that saying "4 is greater than x" is the same as saying "x is less than 4"
