10x+18<-2

10x+18 - 18 <-2 - 18

10x < 16

10x/10 < 16/10

X < -2

Answer: Fourth option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that


10x+18<-2

We need to find the solution to the inequality:

So, we first subtract 18 from both the sides:


10x+18-18<-2-18\\\\10x<-20\\\\x<(-20)/(10)\\\\x<-2

Hence, the solution to the inequality is x<-2.

Therefore, Fourth option is correct.
