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.
Solve for the solution set:
−5a−18<27
