Answer:

x≤11

Step-by-step explanation:

x+5<17, I can subtract 5 on both sides so

x+5<17

 -5  -5

x<12

that's wrong though because my x needs to make my answer less than x to make the statement true since we're looking for a value that is less than 17 not less than or equal to 17. So in conclusion, if x≤11 ( if x is less than or equal to 11), my statement will be true because 11+5<17=16<17, which is true. Even 10 or less is fine because it will still be smaller than 17 and that will keep my statement balanced.
