Your problem statement is ambigous. Do you mean \"%28-5-t%29%2F6%3E=-9\" or \"-5-t%2F6%3E=-9\"?\r

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-5-t%29%2F6%3E=-9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 6:
\n" ); document.write( "\"-5-t%3E=-54\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add 5 to both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "\"-t%3E=-49\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Finally multiply by -1. Here is where solving an inequality differs from solving an equation. If you either multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the sense of the inequality. Here is a trivial example to illustrate the point: \"2%3C3\" is clearly a true statement, but if you multiply both sides by -1, you get \"-2\" on the left and \"-3\" on the right, but you have to change the less than sign to a greater than sign because clearly \"-2%3E-3\".\r
