Now tell me what YOU think it'd be!! :D TRY TRY! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would guess A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x<-2 is your answer so it would be choice B

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

The thing here is that when you see the x on the WRONG side!! Switch the equation completely along with the inequality sign!! :D Like so.. 5 > x + 7 -2>x [NOW TURN THE INEQUATION AROUND] x<-2 Understood? :) :D
