x<5.4

Explanation:

first we take away 9 on both sides so you get

-x>-5.4

then you divide -1 on both sides to make x positive so you get

x<5.4

and remember to change the sign so it will be opposite

Proper Solution:-

9-x > 3.6 (take away 9 from both sides)

-x > -5.4 (divide both sides by -1)

x < 5.4 (And you get this)

x < 5.4

Explanation:

Given
color(white)("XXX")9-x > 3.6

Remember you can add and/or subtract the same amount to both sides of an inequality.

Add x to both sides
color(white)("XXX")9 > 3.6+x

Subtract 3.6 from both sides
color(white)("XXX")5.4 > x
or (remembering that color(blue)(a > b ) hArr color(green)(b < a)
color(white)("XXX")x < 5.4
