Explanation:

Step1: Add 17 to both sides

$-17 + 5x+17>3 + 17$
$5x>20$

Step2: Divide both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}>\frac{20}{5}$
$x > 4$

Answer:

$x>4$
On the number - line, you would draw an open circle at 4 (because 4 is not included in the solution set, due to the '>' sign) and draw an arrow to the right to represent all the numbers greater than 4.
