Question

Solve for x to make the inequality true

Answer 1

Answer: $x>-17$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{-4} +9$

Multiply by -4 on both sides.

$(-4)(\frac{x}{-4} )+9$

$x+9>-8$

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

Subtract 9 on both sides to isolate x.

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