Question

Solve for x to make the inequality true

Answer 1

Answer:
`x>-17`

Explanation:

`(x)/(-4) +9<2`

Multiply by -4 on both sides.

`(-4)((x)/(-4) )+9<2(-4)`

`x+9>-8`

When you multiply or divide by negative numbers, the inequality sign changes direction.

Subtract 9 on both sides to isolate x.

`-9+x+9>-8-9\\x>-17`
