Q. Determine the smallest integer value of x x in the solution of the following inequality.\newline3x+9<9 -3 x+9<-9 \newlineAnswer: x= x=
  1. Isolate x term: Isolate the term containing x.\newlineSubtract 99 from both sides of the inequality.\newline3x+99<99-3x + 9 - 9 < -9 - 9\newline3x<18-3x < -18
  2. Subtract 99: Divide both sides by 3-3 to solve for xx.\newlineRemember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.\newline3x/3>18/3-3x / -3 > -18 / -3\newlinex>6x > 6
  3. Divide by 3-3: Find the smallest integer greater than 66.\newlineSince 66 is not included in the solution (the inequality is strict, not "greater than or equal to"), the next integer is 77.
