The answer is: [B]: x <span>> 22 . __________________________ Explanation: _____________ Given the inequality: _________________ </span>→ <span>18 + x > 40 ; _________________ </span>→ We want to solve, or simplify, for "x". We do this by subtracting "18" from EACH SIDE of the inequality; to isolate "x" on one side of the inequality; and solve, or simply the problem; or, value for "x". ____________________________________ → 18 + x > 40 ; _____________________ → 18 + x − 18 > 40 − 18 ; to get: _____________________ → x > 22 ; → which is: 'Answer choice: [B]'.
