Answer 2

Addition property

Explanation:

Given the inequality:

5x - 9 < 91

The step to take here to move 9 to the other side, is to perform the addition property by adding 9 to both sides.

Thus,

5x - 9 + 9 < 91 + 9

5x < 100

The final step is to perform the division property by dividing both sides by 5, in order to solve for x.

5x/5 < 100/5

x < 20.
