\bold{Answer}


\boxed{\bold{x<(-9+4b)/(a);\quad \:a\\e \:0}}


\bold{Explanation}


  • \bold{Solve: \ -ax+4b>9}


\bold{---------------------}


  • \bold{Subtract \ 4b \ From \ Both \ Sides}


\bold{-ax+4b-4b>9-4b}


  • \bold{Simplify}


\bold{-ax>9-4b}


  • \bold{Multiply \ Both \ Sides \ By \ -1 \ (Reverse \ Inequality)}


\bold{\left(-ax\right)\left(-1\right)<9\left(-1\right)-4b\left(-1\right)}


  • \bold{Simplify}


\bold{ax<-9+4b}


  • \bold{Divide \ Both \ Sides \ By \ a;\quad \:a\\e \:0}


\bold{(ax)/(a)<-(9)/(a)+(4b)/(a);\quad \:a\\e \:0}


  • \bold{Simplify}


\bold{x<(-9+4b)/(a);\quad \:a\\e \:0}


\boxed{\bold{Eclipsed}}

Answer:

x <
(9-4b)/(a)

Explanation:

Given

- ax + 4b > 9 ( isolate the term in x by subtracting 4b from both sides )

- ax > 9 - 4b ( divide both sides by - a )

Remembering to reverse the inequality symbol when dividing by a negative quantity, thus

x <
(9-4b)/(a)
