Understand Inequality: Understand the inequality and what it means to be a solution. To be a solution to the inequality 8-4x > -9, a value for x must make the inequality true when substituted into the inequality.Test Value -2: Test the first value, I. -2. Substitute x = -2 into the inequality. 8 - 4(-2) > -9 Calculate the left side of the inequality. 8 + 8 > -9 16 > -9 Check if the inequality holds true. Since 16 is greater than -9, the inequality is true.Test Value 7: Test the second value, II. 7. Substitute x = 7 into the inequality. 8 - 4(7) > -9 Calculate the left side of the inequality. 8 - 28 > -9 -20 > -9 Check if the inequality holds true. Since -20 is not greater than -9, the inequality is false.Test Value 12: Test the third value, III. 12. Substitute x = 12 into the inequality. 8 - 4(12) > -9 Calculate the left side of the inequality. 8 - 48 > -9 -40 > -9 Check if the inequality holds true. Since -40 is not greater than -9, the inequality is false.Combine Results: Combine the results from the previous steps to determine which values are solutions. From Step 2, we found that x = -2 is a solution. From Step 3 and Step 4, we found that x = 7 and x = 12 are not solutions. Therefore, the only value that is a solution to the inequality is -2.
