Answer:

x < 9

Explanation:

Our original inequality:


9(4x-8) < 4(6x+9)

Firstly, let's expand the brackets on both sides:


36x - 72 < 24x + 36

Now, we add the 72 over to isolate the
x:


36x < 24x + 108

Next, we take away the
24x to isolate the
x:


12x < 108

Finally, we divide both sides by 12 to convert the
12x to
x:


x < 9

This means our final answer is
x < 9.
