-3%285x%2B10%29%3C-18x-9 Start with the given inequality.


-15x-30%3C-18x-9 Distribute.


-15x%3C-18x-9%2B30 Add 30 to both sides.


-15x%2B18x%3C-9%2B30 Add 18x to both sides.


3x%3C-9%2B30 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x%3C21 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3C%2821%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.


x%3C7 Reduce.
