Multiply to Simplify: First, we need to simplify the inequality by multiplying both sides by −18 to get rid of the fraction. Remember that multiplying by a negative number will reverse the inequality sign.1<−18q−15−18×1<−18×(q−−1815)
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication on the left side of the inequality.−18<−18×(q−−1815)−18<−18q+15
Isolate Variable q: Now, we isolate the variable q by adding 18q to both sides of the inequality.−18+18q<−18q+18q+1518q−18<15
Add to Isolate q: Next, we add 18 to both sides of the inequality to further isolate q.18q−18+18<15+1818q<33
Divide to Solve q: Finally, we divide both sides of the inequality by 18 to solve for q.1818q<1833q<1833
Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction on the right side of the inequality. q<611
