To solve this inequality, we need to isolate the variable, x.

4/5x - 2/7 > 5/7

First, let's get rid of the fractions by multiplying every term in the inequality by the least common denominator (LCD) of 5 and 7, which is 35.

(35)(4/5x) - (35)(2/7) > (35)(5/7)

After multiplying,

28x - 10 >25

Next, let's simplify the equation.

28x - 10 > 25

Add 10 to both sides of the inequality:

28x - 10 + 10 > 25 + 10
28x > 35

Finally, divide both sides of the inequality by 28:

28x/28 > 35/28
x > 5/4

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 5/4.
