Question 391132
-917+x(1)-9<-99

Multiply x by each term inside the parentheses.
-917+x-9<-99

Subtract 9 from -917 to get -926.
-926+x<-99

Since -926 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by adding 926 to both sides.
x<926-99

Subtract 99 from 926 to get 827.
x<827
