Answer

$ x \leq 18 $

Work Step by Step

You can not take the square root of a negative number. Therefore, $18 - x$ must be greater than or equal to 0. $ 18 - x \geq 0$ We subtract 18 from both sides $ - x \geq -18 $ We divide both sides by -1. *** When we multiply by a negative number we flip the inequality sign. $ x \leq 18 $
