Answer:

x > 3

(x is greater than 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

According to given condition:

Five less than twice a number > number - 2

Mathematically,

2x - 5 > x - 2

Adding 5 on both sides to simplify the expression:

2x > x - 2 + 5

2x > x + 3

Subtracting x from both sides we get:

2x - x > 3

x > 3

So this the simplified expression.

i hope it will help YOU!
