Question

solve -9x < -45. graph the solution.
the solution is □.

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -9

When dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, $\frac{-9x}{-9}>\frac{-45}{-9}$.

Step2: Simplify both sides

$x > 5$

Answer:

$x>5$; For the graph, you would use an open - circle at $x = 5$ (since $x$ is strictly greater than 5) and draw an arrow to the right on the number line.
