Answer:

0

Explanation:

To find the number of integer solutions there are to the inequality, we need to separate
so it is on its own.

17<5x-8 < 22 (given inequality)

25 < 5x < 30 (add
)

5 < x < 6 (divide by
)

Since there are no integers between
and
, it means there are 0 integer solutions for the inequality
17 < 5x - 8 < 22 .

Hope this helps :)
