Answer:

x < -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality, use inverse operations.

-3x + 5 > 17

-3x > 17 - 5                    Subtract 5 from both sides.

-3x > 12                         Divide both sides by -3.

x < -4                             Flip the inequality sign since you divided by a negative.
