That's because you haven't finished with the question, yet. :)

Answer 18

\[-3g+12>18\]is what you now have.

Answer 19

ooohhhhh okay thanks lol. you guys are cool..

Answer 20

Now you need to move the +12 to the other side. Can you do that?

Answer 21

\[-6g+3g+12>-18\]
\[-3g+12(-12)>-18(-12)\]
\[\frac{ -3g }{ -3 }>\frac{-30}{-3}\]
\[g <10\]
You flip the sign because you divided by a negative number.

Answer 22

oh i see (: thank you ! <3

Answer 23

48 >(ore equal to ) 6 - 7a

Answer 24

\[48\ge6-7a\]Move the 6 to the other side.\[42\ge-7a\]Now divide both sides by -7, but be careful! We need to reverse the direction of the greater than sign because we divided by a negative number.
\[-6\le a\]
