3d-2%288d-9%29%3E-2d-4 Start with the given inequality.


3d-16d%2B18%3E-2d-4 Distribute.


-13d%2B18%3E-2d-4 Combine like terms on the left side.


-13d%3E-2d-4-18 Subtract 18 from both sides.


-13d%2B2d%3E-4-18 Add 2d to both sides.


-11d%3E-4-18 Combine like terms on the left side.


-11d%3E-22 Combine like terms on the right side.


d%3C%28-22%29%2F%28-11%29 Divide both sides by -11 to isolate d. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


d%3C2 Reduce.
