Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term in 1 - 2q > 9. 1 - 2q > 9 Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term containing q. 1 - 2q - 1 > 9 - 1 -2q > 8
Solve for q: Solve for q.-2q > 8Divide both sides by −2 to solve for q. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.\frac{-2q}{-2} < \frac{8}{-2}q < -4
