Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. Let's rework the inequality:

x - 17 3/8 > 6 4/8

First, let's convert all the fractions to have a common denominator:

x - 17 6/8 > 6 4/8

Now, combine the whole numbers and fractions:

x - 17 6/8 > 10

Now, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

x - 138/8 > 80/8

x - 138/8 > 10

x - 17.25 > 10

Now, solve for x:

x > 27.25

Therefore, the correct answer as a mixed number is:

x > 27 1/4

Answer 4

still wrong

Answer 5

I apologize for the oversight. Let's try solving it again:

x - 17 3/8 > 6 4/8

First, let's convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

x - 139/8 > 8/2

Now, combine the fractions:

x - 139/8 > 4

Add 139/8 to both sides to isolate x:

x > 139/8 + 4

x > 139/8 + 32/8

x > 171/8

Now, convert the improper fraction to a mixed number:

x > 21 3/8

Therefore, the correct answer is: x > 21 3/8.
