First we simplify the inequality
1. <em>multiply 6 by the other side of the inequality (-4) </em>
Now we have ...
a > -24
Anything that can be a solution to the inequality <u>must be greater than -24</u>
-18 is greater than -24
This means that, YES! a = -18 IS a solution to the inequality

Exact Form:
28/15
Decimal Form:
1.86
Mixed Number Form:
1 13/15

a parallel line to that one above, will have the same exact slope, since parallel lines have the same slope.
3.97, 4 is less than 5 so you round down, and you should round to the nearest hundredths
