5x+8\geq -17
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.
5x\geq -17-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
5x\geq -25
Subtract 8 from -17 to get -25.
x\geq \frac{-25}{5}
Divide both sides by 5. Since 5 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x\geq -5
Divide -25 by 5 to get -5.
