You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+-3z+%2B+18+%3E+2z+-+2+
Add +3z+ to both sides
+18+%3E+5z+-+2+
Add 2 to both sides
+20+%3E+5z+
Divide both sides by +5+
+4+%3E+z+
Rewrite it going from right to left
+z+%3C+4+
--------
Put +z+=+3.99+ into original equation
+-3%2A3.99+%2B+18+%3E+2%2A3.99+-+2+
+-11.97+%2B+18+%3E+7.98+-+2+
+6.03+%3E+5.98+
OK
