IDK how you got -7 but the answer is x>-3 because you take 5-2x<11 you subtract 5 and get -2x<6 now you divide by -2 and since you are dividing by a negative you have to flip the sign so because it is < you make the sign > this. so you get x>-3

11>5-2x>=-7
6>-2x>-12
We are going to divide by -2 which means we flip the signs
6/-2>x>6
-3>x>=6
now flip the signs
-3 done
