The answer is: [B]: x > 22 .
__________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_____________
Given the inequality:
_________________
→ 18 + x > 40 ;
_________________
→ We want to solve, or simplify, for "x". We do this by subtracting "18" from EACH SIDE of the inequality; to isolate "x" on one side of the inequality; and solve, or simply the problem; or, value for "x".
____________________________________
→ 18 + x > 40 ;
_____________________
→ 18 + x − 18 > 40 − 18 ; to get:
_____________________
→ x > 22 ; → which is: 'Answer choice: [B]'.
