The left side....
Subtract both sides by 1...
-1/3x > 2/3
Multiply all by -3... (note, when multiplying / dividing by negative numbers, switch the inequality)
x < -2
----
The right side....
Add 1 to both sides...
4/9x < 4/3
Multiply both sides by 9/4...
x < 3
----
x < -2 or x < 3
(Though I don't get what that means, but it answers your question)
