How do I resize an image to 5.000x7.000 inches?
I don't want 5.147x7.000 inches or 5.000x6.800 inches.
I want 5.000x7.000 inches.

So, you have an image with an aspect ratio of 0.735 and you want an image with an aspect ratio of 0.714. If you lose the aspect ratio, things will be slightly compressed horizontally (assuming the 5000px are the horizontal dimension). You can do so by opening the chain link between width and height:

   

Otherwise, if the geometry is important, you either have to crop the image on the sides or extend it vertically to achieve a 5:7 aspect ratio.
