Hello out there,I need some help with some problems,
the first one is,Solve the inequality:

18 > x%2F%28-3%29

Multiply both sides by -3, and since we are multiplying
by a negative number, we turn the symbol > around and
make it < instead:

-3%2818%29 < -3%28x%2F%28-3%29%29

Multiply on the left to get -54, and
cancel the -3's on the right, and we
have

-54 < x

This can also be written as

x > -54

for if -54 is less than x, then
x is greater than -54


.The next one is,Solve the inequality:

d/-2<-4.


d%2F%28-2%29 < -4

Multiply both sides by -2, and since we are multiplying
by a negative number, we turn the symbol < around and
make it > instead:

-2%28d%2F%28-2%29%29 > -2%28-4%29

Cancel the -3's on the left and multiply on the
right to get 8, and we have

d > 8

The third one is,Solve the inequality:

-6h+%3E+36

Divide both sides by -6, and since we are dividing
by a negative number, we turn the symbol > around and
make it < instead:

%28-6h%29%2F%28-6%29%29 < 36%2F%28-6%29

Cancel the -6's on the left and divide on the
right to get -6, and we have

h < -6

And the last one is, Solve the inequality:

10 < y - 4

Add +4 to both sides:

10 + 4 < y

    14 < y

We do not turn the symbol around unless we are
multiplying or dividing by a negative number.

However this can be written as

     y > 14

because if 14 is less than y, then y is greater
than 14.
