To solve the inequality 5a + 18 < -27, we can start by isolating the variable "a" on one side of the inequality.

Subtract 18 from both sides:
5a + 18 - 18 < -27 - 18
5a < -45

Next, divide both sides by 5 to solve for "a":
5a/5 < -45/5
a < -9

Therefore, the solution set for the inequality 5a + 18 < -27 is:
a < -9
