7x-7<5x+17
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by x-1.
7x-7-5x<17
Subtract 5x from both sides.
2x-7<17
Combine 7x and -5x to get 2x.
2x<17+7
Add 7 to both sides.
2x<24
Add 17 and 7 to get 24.
x<\frac{24}{2}
Divide both sides by 2. Since 2 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x<12
Divide 24 by 2 to get 12.
