Explain each step if you were asked to solve 4 - 2x < 18

I stink at algebra which is why I'm in remedial courses at community college. This has me stumped. I've been looking through the instructions and still have no clue. Any help??

subtract 4 from each side

-2x<14

divide each side by -2; remember when you divide or multiply by a negative in an inequality, the less than sign is switched to greater than and vice versa

x>-7

I don't know of any < symbol in algebra so I may be wrong, but is the question not to find x?

If so, then;

4 - 2x = 18
2x = 18 + 4 (22)
x = 11

4 - 2x < 18
- 2x < 18 - 4
-2x < 14
2x > -14
x > -14/2
x > -7

4 - 2x < 18

-2x < 14

-x < 7

x > -7
