Question

Solve for the solution set:

−5a−18<27

(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve for the solution set, we need to isolate the variable "a".

First, add 18 to both sides of the inequality:

−5a - 18 + 18 < 27 + 18

This simplifies to:

−5a < 45

Next, divide by -5 on both sides to isolate "a" and flip the inequality sign since we are dividing by a negative number:

a > -9

Therefore, the solution set is all real numbers greater than -9.
