Solve for the solution set: -5 - 18 < 27

Question

thru a number line.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality -5 - 18 < 27, we first need to simplify it:

-5 - 18 < 27
-23 < 27

Next, we can represent this on a number line.

We mark the number 27 on the number line, and then we need to determine which numbers are less than 27. Since -23 is less than 27, all numbers to the left of 27 on the number line are part of the solution set.

Therefore, the solution set for the inequality -5 - 18 < 27 is all real numbers to the left of 27 on the number line.
