if x > or < than something then sometimes but when trying to get x
-2(2x + 9) > -4x + 9    first distribute
-2(2x) +(-2)(9) > -4x + 9
-4x - 18 > -4x + 9       the x's cancel out when you add 4x to both sides
+4x           +4x
      -18 > 9                -18 is not greater than 9
so your answer is never
