[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x.

Given inequality: 5x + 2 > 17

Subtracting 2 from both sides of the inequality, we get:
5x + 2 - 2 > 17 - 2
5x > 15

Now, divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x:
5x/5 > 15/5
x > 3

Therefore, the solution for x is x > 3.
