Multiply by −3: First, we need to simplify the inequality by multiplying both sides by −3 to get rid of the fraction. Remember that multiplying by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.4<−3k−9−3×4>−3×(k−−39)
Perform multiplication: Now, perform the multiplication.−12>−3k+9
Isolate variable k: Next, we isolate the variable k on one side of the inequality by subtracting 9 from both sides.−12−9>−3k+9−9
Simplify inequality: Simplify the inequality by combining like terms.−21>−3k
Divide by −3: Now, divide both sides by −3 to solve for k. Remember to reverse the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number.−21/−3<−3k/−3
Perform division: Perform the division to find the value of k.7<k
