Makenna Boyle · Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality is

18-3x < - 90

The solution set is

x > 36

Itzel Rodgers · Answer 2

The solution set is: x>36

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that we have to subtract 3 times of some number 'x' from 18 such that the resulting equation is less than - 90.

this means that : 18-3x<-90

on solving the inequality by adding 3x on both side and adding 90 on both side we get that

108<3x

now on dividing both side by 3 we get that

x>36

Hence our solution set is: x>36
