Add 17 to isolate q: Next, add 17 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with the variable q on one side.-q - 17 + 17 > 2 + 17This simplifies to -q > 19.
Divide by −1 to solve: Now, divide both sides by −1 to solve for q. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.-\frac{q}{-1} < \frac{19}{-1}This simplifies to q < -19.
