Answer
$q\lt -12$
The graph is shown below.
Work Step by Step
The given inequality is
$\Rightarrow -18\gt 1.5q$
Divide each side by $1.5$.
$\Rightarrow -\frac{18}{1.5}\gt \frac{1.5q}{1.5}$
Simplify.
$\Rightarrow -12\gt q$
Hence, the solution is $ q\lt -12$.
Use an open circle because $-12$ is not a solution.
Shade the number line on the left side.
