To solve the inequality 18 - 6x > 12, we need to isolate x.
First, subtract 18 from both sides:
-6x > 12 - 18
-6x > -6
Then, divide by -6 (since we're dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign will switch):
x < 1
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x is less than 1. The solution represented on a number line would have an open circle at 1, with an arrow to the left indicating all values less than 1.
Solve the given inequality and represent its solution on the number line.
18 -6x > 12
