What is the inequality for 5 (x+3) - 8<17

x< 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the inequality;

5 (x+3) - 8<17

First we take 8 to the other side;

5 (x+3) <17 + 8, notice the sign changes like with an equation

Opening the brackets;

5x + 15 < 25

We then take 15 to the other side;

5x < 25 - 15

5x < 10

x < 2

Thus, the solution of the inequality is x< 2
