Asked by Kyle
                My math question ask is 1/3(x-9) = 2x+7 greater than or less than 4/3(x+4)= -4x.
The problem (1) answer = 6. Problem (2) answer = -1. Therefore problem (2) is less than problem (1). Are the answer to the equations correct.

    The question makes no sense.
Equations do not have a numerical value.
They should have asked
Is the solution to 1/3(x-9) = 2x+7 greater than or less than the solution to 4/3(x+4) = -4x
To say that one equation is greater than another equation makes absolutely no sense.
As to the actual answers to your equations ...
1.
1/3(x-9) = 2x+7
x-9 = 6x + 21
-5x = 30
x = -6 , you had +6
2.
4/3(x+4) = -4x
4(x+4) = -12x
divide both sides by 4
x+4 = -3x
4x = -4
x = -1 , yeah, you had that one right
