                  // 7x from each side

y < (18 - 7x)/3   // divide both sides by 3

y < -(7/3)x + 6   // simplify (I think you can do distributing,

                  // been a while since Algebra though

I assume you're solving for y

notice that it's very much like trying to get to y = mx + b. Just remember if you divide by a negative you need to flip the inequality (> or <) sign.

The only trouble is if you start dividing or multiplying because then... ack, I'll spare you all the pain. Just wait till you get to the heavy calculus...
