• 9x+8<9x-63
• 9x-9x<-63-8
• 0<-71

No solutions

Answer 2

No solution.

Explanation:

Original equation: 9x + 8 < 9( x − 7 )

Step 1: Distribute 9 on the right-hand side of the inequality:

9x + 8 < 9x – 63

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides of the inequality:

9x + 8 - 8 < 9x – 63 – 8

9x + 0 < 9x – 71

9x < 9x – 71

Step 3: Subtract 9x from both sides of the inequality:

9x – 9x < 9x – 71 – 9x

0 < 0 – 71

0 < – 71

Therefore, there is no solution.
