10x - 9 < -29

Add 9 to both sides:

10x - 9 + 9 < -29 + 9

10x < -20

Divide both sides by 10:

10x/10 < -20/10

x < -2

9x + 9 > 36

Subtract 9 from both sides:

9x + 9 - 9 > 36 - 9

9x > 27

Divide both sides by 9:

9x/9 > 27/9

x > 3

x < -2 or x > 3 would be your answer.

Hope this helps!

10x-9 < -29

Add 9 to both sides:


10x-9+9 < -29+9


10x < -20

Divide both sides by 10:


(10x)/(10) < (-20)/(10)


x < -2

9x + 9 > 36

Subtract 9 from both sides:

9x > 27

Divide both sides by 9:


(9x)/(9) > (27)/(9)


x > 3
