Answer:

0

Explanation:

To find the number of integer solutions there are to the inequality, we need to separate
x so it is on its own.


17<5x-8 < 22 (given inequality)


25 < 5x < 30 (add
8 )


5 < x < 6 (divide by
5 )

Since there are no integers between
5 and
6, it means there are 0 integer solutions for the inequality
17 < 5x - 8 < 22.

Hope this helps :)
