To find x, first subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality.

[tex]-2x+5>17[/tex]

[tex]-2x+5-5>17-5[/tex]

[tex]-2x>12[/tex]

Divide both sides by -2.

[tex]\frac{-2x}{2}[/tex]>[tex]\frac{12}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x<-6[/tex]

When dividing by a negative, the inequality sign must be flipped. Therefore, the solution is x<-6.
