Question 644578


{{{2-x>17}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{-x>17-2}}} Subtract {{{2}}} from both sides.



{{{-x>15}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x<(15)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. 



{{{x<-15}}} Reduce.
