You can put this solution on YOUR website!
set up inequality and solve. 2*-9<-2
Rule::
1st:: Scan from left to right
2nd:: Multiply and divide as they occur from left to right
3rd:: Add and subtract as they occur from left to right.
----
Your Problem::
2*-9 < -2
Mult from left to right to get:
-18 < -2
----
There is no add or subtract so that is the answer.
