solve this inequality 9h+2<-79?

Question

a. h=7/9

b.h=-63

c. h=1 2/7

d.h=63

Answer 1

9h + 2 < -79
9h < -81
h < -9

so unless you wrote the problem wrong, that's the answer.
given your options, the right answer is b: h = -63
since -63 is the only answer listed that's less than -9

Answer 2

Temporarily switch it to an equation (replace the less than with an equal sign)

9h + 2 = -79
9h = -79 -2
9h = -81
h = -9

so, replace the less than sign in your solution.

h < -9

And then look at your list for an answer where h < -9.
