Answer 1

Given the inequality,

$-2x+9<-27$

To solve the inequality, we first add -9 on both sides.

$\begin{gathered} -2x+9+(-9)<-27+(-9) \\ -2x<-36 \end{gathered}$

Now divide this by - 2.

$\begin{gathered} \frac{-2x}{-2}<\frac{-36}{-2} \\ x<18 \end{gathered}$

Here the mistake made is adding 9 both sides.

Therefore, the answer is x < 18.
