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+5

treat the > sign as an equals for now

2x-7=x+5

subtract x from both sides

x-7=5

add 7 to both sides

x=12

put the > sign back in

x>12
