Find the values of x that satisfy the inequalities.

Transcribed Image Text:### Solving Inequalities
Here are two inequalities to solve. Let's go through each one step-by-step:
**Inequality 18:**
\(-6 > 4 + 5x\)
To solve this inequality, follow these steps:
1. Subtract 4 from both sides:
\(-6 - 4 > 5x\)
\(-10 > 5x\)
2. Divide both sides by 5:
\(-2 > x\)
The solution is \(x < -2\).
---
**Inequality 20:**
\(-12 \leq -3x\)
To solve this inequality, follow these steps:
1. Divide both sides by \(-3\) and reverse the inequality sign:
\(4 \geq x\)
The solution is \(x \leq 4\).
---
### Summary
- For Inequality 18, the solution is \(x < -2\).
- For Inequality 20, the solution is \(x \leq 4\).
Understanding how to manipulate and solve inequalities is important in algebra and day-to-day problem-solving.
