Full solution

Q. Solve for qq. \newline1<q15181 < \frac{q - 15}{-18}
  1. Multiply to Simplify: First, we need to simplify the inequality by multiplying both sides by 18-18 to get rid of the fraction. Remember that multiplying by a negative number will reverse the inequality sign.\newline1<q15181 < \frac{q - 15}{-18}\newline18×1<18×(q1518)-18 \times 1 < -18 \times \left(q - \frac{15}{-18}\right)
  2. Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication on the left side of the inequality.\newline18<18×(q1518)-18 < -18 \times (q - \frac{15}{-18})\newline18<18q+15-18 < -18q + 15
  3. Isolate Variable qq: Now, we isolate the variable qq by adding 18q18q to both sides of the inequality.\newline18+18q<18q+18q+15-18 + 18q < -18q + 18q + 15\newline18q18<1518q - 18 < 15
  4. Add to Isolate qq: Next, we add 1818 to both sides of the inequality to further isolate qq.\newline18q18+18<15+1818q - 18 + 18 < 15 + 18\newline18q<3318q < 33
  5. Divide to Solve qq: Finally, we divide both sides of the inequality by 1818 to solve for qq.18q18<3318\frac{18q}{18} < \frac{33}{18}q<3318q < \frac{33}{18}
  6. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction on the right side of the inequality. q<116q < \frac{11}{6}
