Full solution

Q. Solve for xx.\newline9x>8x+2-9x > -8x + 2\newlineWrite your answer with xx first, followed by an inequality symbol.\newline______
  1. Isolate xx: Isolate xx by subtracting 8x-8x from both sides of the inequality -9x > -8x + 2.
    -9x + 8x > -8x + 8x + 2
    -x > 2
  2. Divide and flip: Divide both sides by 1-1 to solve for xx, remembering to flip the inequality sign because we are dividing by a negative number.\newline-\frac{x}{-1} < \frac{2}{-1}\newlinex < -2
