For this case we have the following conversion:
1 pound = 16 ounces
Then we rewrite the sack weights:
14 pounds 9 ounces = 14 9/16
9 pounds 14 ounces = 9 14/16 = 9 7/8
Then, we subtract both values:
(14 9/16) - (9 7/8) = 4.6875 = 4 + 0.6875
Rewriting:
4 + 0.6875 = 4 + 6875/1000
4 + 1375/200 = 4 + 275/40
4 + 275/40 = 4 + 55/8
Answer:

Hello.
We are solving -9.4 > 1.7x + 4.2.
First we need to swap sides:

Now we need to subtract 4.2 from both sides.
1.7x + 4.2 = -9.4
-4.2 . -4.2
Now let's combine -4.2 + 4.2 which is 0.
We get 1.7x < -9.4 - 4.2
Now let's divide both sides by 1.7
1.7x | -13.6
1.7 1.7
x < -13.6
1.7
So we just divided to get x < -8.
