Hi there! The answer is -4
Subtract 5 from both sides.
Divide by 4
Therefore, the largest integer value of x which makes the inequality true is -4. Not -3, because when filling in -3, the value isn't smaller than -3 anymore.
(Filling in x = -3 gives 17 > 17, which is incorrect).
Subtract 5 from both sides.
