Question

$18a + |0| + 3 < 25$

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify constants

$18a + |0| + 3 < 25$ simplifies to $18a + 3 < 25$ (since $|0|=0$)

Step2: Subtract 3 from both sides

$18a + 3 - 3 < 25 - 3$
$18a < 22$

Step3: Divide by 18

$\frac{18a}{18} < \frac{22}{18}$
$a < \frac{11}{9}$

Answer:

$a < \frac{11}{9}$
