%282%2F3%29%28x%2B9%29%3C=%281%2F3%29%282x%2B12%29 Simplify. Apply the distributive property.
%282%2F3%29x%2B6+%3C=%282%2F3%29x%2B4 Subtract%282%2F3%29x from both sides.
6%3C=4 I don't think so!
Since the variable, x, no longer appears in the solution and the solution is not true, then x has no solution.
