Solve \(\displaystyle - x - 4 > 18\). Write the solution in interval notation.


Isolating \(\displaystyle x\) gives \(\displaystyle - x>22\). Dividing off the \(\displaystyle x\) coefficient and reversing the inequality symbol because its negative gives \(\displaystyle x<-22\). The solution is \(\displaystyle \left(-\infty, -22\right)\)
