The given inequalities are :

2x + 8 > 18

2c + 8 < 18

Inequality 1 : 2x + 8 > 18

Simplify

Subtract 8 from both side :

2x + 8 - 8> 18 - 8

2x > 10

Divide both side by 2

x > 5

Inequality : 2c + 8 < 18

2c + 8 < 18

Subtract 8 from both side:

2c + 8 - 8 < 18 - 8

2c < 10

Divide both side by 2:

2c/2 < 10/2

c < 5

So, the solution is x > 5 and c < 5

So, equation will be : c < x < 5
