Solve: -2x<9. x>____

for the life of me, I can't make any sense of what you have typed.

formatting. Should have been

-2x < 9
x > ???

Swap sides to get

-9 < 2x
-9/2 < x

or, x > -9/2

To solve the inequality -2x < 9, we need to isolate the variable x by performing the following steps:

Step 1: Divide both sides of the inequality by -2. Remember, when you divide or multiply both sides by a negative number, the direction of the inequality symbol flips.

-2x / -2 > 9 / -2

Simplifying this results in:

x > -4.5

Therefore, the solution for the inequality -2x < 9 is x > -4.5.
