Inequality show your step by step solution to this. 5-2x> 17

x<-6 *The answer should be the negative sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

subtract 5 both sides of an equation.

5-2x-5>17-5

simplify.

-2x>12

multiply by -1 both sides of an equation.

(-2x)(-1)<12(-1)

simplify.

2x<-12

divide by 2 both sides of an equation.

2x/2<-12/2

-12/2=-6

12/2=6

6*2=12

12/6=2

x<-6

Hope this helps!
