Question

Solve for x and graph: show your work! -9x -30 < 15?

Answer 1

-9x - 30 < 15
      + 30 + 30
       -9x < 45
        -9     -9
           x < -5

Answer 2

First you want to isolate X by adding 30 to both sides.
-9x < 45
Then divide both sides by -9.
x < -5
Graph that by drawing a vertical line at x = -5 and shading in everything to the left.
