I skipped some steps but I hope it helps.

Okay, for the first one, we need the numbers on one side and the x's on the other. So we would move 19 to the other side to end up with -1.5<-2.5x We would then divide both sides by -2.5, and that would become 0.6>x. Notice the less than becomes a greater than when you divide by a negative number. The second one, we need to multiply first. We get 2q -q^2 -4+2q. This reduces to -q^2 + 4q - 4, or q^2 - 4q +4. This factors into (q-2)(q-2) < 0. I think you can go from there lol. (you just set each of the q-2's equal to 0). I hope this helps!! =)
