Respuesta :

5x + 7 > 17 can be simplified by subtracting 7 from both sides:

5x > 10                Now solve for x.  Div. both sides by 5.

Then x>2, or {x | x > 2} in set notation.

Answer:

The solution set for the provided inequity is {x | x > 2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided inequity.

[tex]5x+7>17[/tex]

Subtract both the side by 7.

[tex]5x+7-7>17-7[/tex]

[tex]5x>10[/tex]

Now divide both the side by 5.

[tex]\frac{5x}{5}>\frac{10}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x>2[/tex]

Hence, the solution set for the provided inequity is {x | x > 2}.
