Answer:

Yuto is correct because he isolated the variable correctly and reversed the inequality symbol.

Explanation:

The given inequality is
- (2)/(3)x + 9 > 7 and we have to solve it.

Now,
- (2)/(3)x + 9 > 7


- (2)/(3)x + 9 - 9 > 7 - 9


- (2)/(3)x > - 2


(-(3)/(2)) * ( - (2)/(3)x) < (- 2)* (- (3)/(2))

x < 3 (Answer)

Therefore, Yuto is correct because he isolated the variable correctly and reversed the inequality symbol. (Answer)
