-16<2x+18

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-16 < 2x + 18\), we can follow these steps:

1. Subtract 18 from both sides: \[ -16 - 18 < 2x \] \[ -34 < 2x \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 2: \[ \frac{-34}{2} < x \] \[ -17 < x \]

This can also be expressed as: \[ x > -17 \]

So the solution to the inequality is: \[ x > -17 \]
