-17%3E5x-2 Start with the given inequality.


0%3E5x-2%2B17 Add 17 to both sides.


-5x%3E-2%2B17 Subtract 5x from both sides.


-5x%3E15 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%2815%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3C-3 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x%3C-3
