Q. Solve for

x

.

\newline

-9x > -8x + 2

\newline

Write your answer with

x

first, followed by an inequality symbol.

\newline

______

Isolate $x$ : Isolate $x$ by subtracting $-8x$ from both sides of the inequality $-9x > -8x + 2$ .
$-9x + 8x > -8x + 8x + 2$
$-x > 2$
Divide and flip: Divide both sides by $-1$ to solve for $x$ , remembering to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number. $\newline$ $-\frac{x}{-1} < \frac{2}{-1}$ $\newline$ $x < -2$
