5x-9%3E9x%2B9
Add -9x to each side:
-9x%2B5x-9%3E9
Combine the x terms:
-4x-9%3E9
Add 9 to each side:
-4x%3E18
Divide each side by -4. You need to swap the inequality direction anytime you multiply/divide each side by a negative number:
x%3C%28-18%2F4%29
Simplify and you are done:
highlight%28x%3C%28-9%2F2%29%29
