Answer:

x = - 5

Explanation:

Given

- 3x + 5 > 17 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

- 3x > 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

Remembering to reverse the inequality symbol when dividing/ multiplying by a negative quantity.

x < - 4 ← symbol reversed

The value of x that is in the solution set is x = - 5
