Are you sure there are both > and = symbols in this?

1)Pretend the > sign is an = sign.
3x+17=50
3x = 50-17
3x =33
x = 11..... now replace the = with the original >
x>11 Answer.
(This method does not always work for negative numbers ..sometimes you have to replace> with< at the end.
Check which answer makes sense before deciding.)

3x+17>50
Subtract 17 from both sides.
3x>33
Divide both sides by 3.
x>11

natural numbers go along in the right side and because 17 was changing it place from left wing to right he become -17 then after you summed all natural numbers (without parameter x,y,...)
and summed all parametrized numbers you divide the natural numbers with the parametrized numbers to make it single x. was I helpful? if you have more problems contact me on uribra@wala.co.il

The answer is yes as 3 x 17 is greater than 50

x>11
Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.
First, take 17 from each side, leaving 3x>33.
Second, divide by 3; x>11.
Hope that helps.
