<h3>Answer: x < -2, choice B</h3>
===========================================
Work Shown:
10x + 18 < -2
10x + 18-18 < -2-18 ... subtract 18 from both sides
10x < -20
10x/10 < -20/10 ... divide both sides by 10
x < -2
3/5 is 0.6
7/8 is 0.875
0.6/0.875 is 0.685714286
0.685714286 is 685714286/1000000000
(not so sure about it but that was what i came up with hope i helped)
