To solve the inequality, we need to simplify the expression first:
(-7c - 18) - 2c > 0
Next, we combine like terms:
-7c - 18 - 2c > 0
-9c - 18 > 0
Now, we isolate c by adding 18 to both sides:
-9c > 18
Next, divide both sides by -9, remembering that when dividing or multiplying an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes:
c < 18/-9
Simplifying further:
c < -2
Therefore, the solution to the inequality -7c - 18 - 2c > 0 is c < -2.
(-7c - 18) - 2c > 0
Next, we combine like terms:
-7c - 18 - 2c > 0
-9c - 18 > 0
Now, we isolate c by adding 18 to both sides:
-9c > 18
Next, divide both sides by -9, remembering that when dividing or multiplying an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes:
c < 18/-9
Simplifying further:
c < -2
Therefore, the solution to the inequality -7c - 18 - 2c > 0 is c < -2.
