Answer:solve for x

x>3

Step-by-step explanation: 12x<9(2x−3)+9

Use the distributive property to multiply 9 by 2x−3.

12x<18x−27+9

Add −27 and 9 to get −18.

12x<18x−18

Subtract 18x from both sides.

12x−18x<−18

Combine 12x and −18x to get −6x.

−6x<−18

Divide both sides by −6. Since −6 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

x>

−6

−18

Divide −18 by −6 to get 3.

x>3
