-5x%2B12%3C-18 Start with the given inequality.


-5x%3C-18-12 Subtract 12 from both sides.


-5x%3C-30 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%28-30%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


x%3E6 Reduce.
