Answer: x<-6 *The answer should be the negative sign.*
Step-by-step explanation:
subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.
subtract 5 both sides of an equation.
5-2x-5>17-5
simplify.
-2x>12
multiply by -1 both sides of an equation.
(-2x)(-1)<12(-1)
simplify.
2x<-12
divide by 2 both sides of an equation.
2x/2<-12/2
-12/2=-6
12/2=6
6*2=12
12/6=2
x<-6
Hope this helps!
