Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term in 1 - 8h > 9. 1 - 8h > 9 Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate the term containing h. 1 - 8h - 1 > 9 - 1
Simplify inequality: Simplify both sides of the inequality.-8h > 8
Solve for h: Solve for h by dividing both sides by −8. Remember that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality sign.\frac{-8h}{-8} < \frac{8}{-8}
Final value of h: Simplify the inequality to find the value of h.h < -1
