what is the equation to seven less than the product of twice a number is greater than 5 more than the same number

seven less than (-7) than the product of twice a number (2x) is greater than (>) five more than (+5) the same number (x)2x-7>x+5treat the > sign as an equals for now2x-7=x+5subtract x from both sidesx-7=5add 7 to both sidesx=12put the > sign back inx>12

Let the number be  x.Seven less than the product of twice a number :  2x  -  7.Greater than                                                                  >5 more than the same number                            :    x + 5The equation  is:                                            2x - 7   >  x + 5.That's the answer. But let us just go ahead and solve it.2x - 7  >  x + 5.2x - x >  5 + 7        x  >  12.
