-5x+3>-17
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.
-5x>-17-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-5x>-20
Subtract 3 from -17 to get -20.
x<\frac{-20}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5. Since -5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
x<4
Divide -20 by -5 to get 4.
