Solve for the solution set: 5a+18<−27 (1 point)
Responses
To solve the inequality 5a + 18 < -27, we can start by subtracting 18 from both sides:
5a < -27 - 18
5a < -45
Next, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for a:
5a / 5 < -45 / 5
a < -9
Therefore, the solution set for the inequality 5a + 18 < -27 is a < -9.
