What are the steps needed in 9 - c < 2 ??
9 - c < 2 1. Subtract 9 from both sides. Please post what you get, @leogrrl01
Yes, but, when you subtract 9 from both sides you get c < -7. The answer is c < 7, not -7.
Don't worry about the answer at this moment. Think about how to get the answer. Look at this. 9 - c < 2 -9 -9 ------------ -c < -7
To solve for c, multiply both sides of (-c < -7) by (-1).
Oh sorry, I know the answer from my test. I need to know the steps.
Your reply shows -7, not 7
Two minus Nine = Negative Seven. Nine minus Two = Seven
I think we're done here.
We get this: -c < -7 (-1) * (-c) > (-1) * (-7) c > 7 ---> Answer. Note that the order of the inequality symbol flipped from less than to greater than. That happen when multiplying a linear inequality by a negative number.
We are not done if the supposed correct answer is this: The answer is c < 7.

I was referring to we are done here because you did not give me the adequate work. Did you not get what I said before? *Please do not reply*
