What is the solution of the inequality shown
below?
c+2 < -1

c < -3

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for c in this inequality, your goal is the same as it would be you were solving an equation, to get c by itself on one side of the inequality.

Since 2 is being added to c, subtract

2 from both sides of the inequality.

On the left, the +2 and -2 cancel out

and on the right, -1 - 2 is -3.

So we end up with c < -3.

I have also graphed this for you below.

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
