(2)/(3)


(2)/(3) (9) - x \ \textless \ ?


(2(9) - x)/(3) - 3 \ \textless \ ?


(3(3))/(3)


(9 - 2(x))/(3) < ?

First: Multiply the number 3 on your sides

Second: Multiply again but by negative 1 {-1}

You have to flip your inquality sign since we multiplied from a negative number

2(x) 9 > ?

Third: Divide on each of your sides by the number 2

x -
(9)/(2) > ?

Forth: Add the fraction of
(9)/(2) to the sides

-.667 (3.0) < ?

Lets just say: 3.0 is a positve while -.667 is a negative

Finally we get to your result

Answer:
x \ \textgreater \ (9)/(2)

Good Luck!
