Answer
\( x > 22 \)
Solution
To solve the inequality:
\[
17 < x - 5
\]
**Step 1:** Add 5 to both sides to isolate \( x \):
\[
17 + 5 < x
\]
\[
22 < x
\]
**Step 2:** Rewrite the inequality to express \( x \) clearly:
\[
x > 22
\]
**Solution:**
\[
x > 22
\]
\(\boxed{x>22}\)

Simplify this solution Bonus Knowledge
To solve the inequality \( 17 < x - 5 \), start by isolating \( x \). Add 5 to both sides of the inequality: \[ 17 + 5 < x \] This simplifies to: \[ 22 < x \] Or, equivalently: \[ x > 22 \] So the solution to the inequality is \( x > 22 \).
