The answer would be x<-5

Explanation
You have to move 2 over to the 17 to get the x by itself so since it’s a positive 2, you would subtract 2 which would give you -3x>15. THEN you would divide the 15 by negative 3 which gives you -5 BUT since you are dividing by a negative you would flip the sign.
Hope this helped!!
