x+-2+%3E+8.....for x=-3,x=0,x=5,x=17
for x=-3:
-3+-2+%3E+8
-5+%3E+8..........not solutions of the inequality...

for x=0:
0+-2+%3E+8
-2+%3E+8..........not solutions of the inequality...

for x=5:
5+-2+%3E+8
3+%3E+8..........not solutions of the inequality...


for x=17:
17+-2+%3E+8
15+%3E+8..........this one is solutions of the inequality...
