Answer:9x + 5 > -22

Explanation:

The product of a number and 9 means multiplication. You can use x for the variable of the unknown number. Multiplication comes before addition (from PEMDAS, parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) so multiply 9 and x before adding 5.

> is the sign for greater than, and the equality is greater than -22.

By solving the inequality you get x would be any number greater than -3
