Hello!

-18 < -7v + 10

-18 -10 < -7v

-28 < -7v

28 > 7v

28/7 > 7v/7

4 > v

v < 4

To solve the inequality -18 < -7v + 10, follow these steps:

Step 1: Move the constant term to the right side of the inequality:

-18 < -7v + 10 becomes -18 - 10 < -7v.

Simplifying this expression, we have:

-28 < -7v.

Step 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by -7. Note that when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign must be flipped.

(-28)/(-7) > (-7v)/(-7).

Simplifying further, we get:

4 > v.

Step 3: Rearrange the inequality with v on the left side:

v < 4.

The solution to the inequality is v < 4, meaning that v can take any value less than 4 to satisfy the original inequality.
