Exercise 19 Page 190

Use inverse operations just like you would to solve an equation.

j<-1

Practice makes perfect
We solve inequalities similarly to how we solve equations. Let's begin by using the Distributive Property.
-3(j+3)+9j<-15
-3j-9+9j<-15
6j-9<-15
6j<-6
j<-1
The solution set includes all real numbers less than -1.
