You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+-3x+%2B+1+%3C=+17+
+-3x+%3C=+16+
+x+%3E=+-16%2F3+
This says that x is greater than
or equal to minus 5 1/3. The negative
odd integers that satisfy this are
-5, -3, and -1
--------------
check:
+-3x+%2B+1+%3C=+17+
+-3%2A%28-5%29+%2B+1+%3C=+17+
+15+%2B+1+%3C=+17+
+16+%3C=+17+
OK
