Answer:

x<2

Explanation:

You want to solve for x. First you want to subtract 7.5x from both sides:

Subtract:

-4x+25>17

Then you want to subtract 25 from both sides to isolate x.

Subtract:

-4x>-8

In order to solve for x, you have to divide -4 from both sides. But there is a special rule when you are dividing with a inequality. When you are dividing with an inequality, you have to flip the sign. So the > would be a <.

Divide:

x<2

Thats the answer :)
