To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, we can start by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9 to eliminate the fraction:
9 * (5x/9) < 9 * 8
This simplifies to:
5x < 72
Next, we can isolate x by dividing both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5x)/5 < 72/5
This simplifies to:
x < 14.4
Therefore, the solution to the inequality, written with x coming first, is:
x < 14.4
9 * (5x/9) < 9 * 8
This simplifies to:
5x < 72
Next, we can isolate x by dividing both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5x)/5 < 72/5
This simplifies to:
x < 14.4
Therefore, the solution to the inequality, written with x coming first, is:
x < 14.4

Apologies for the mistake. Let me correct it.
To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, we can start by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9 to eliminate the fraction. However, we need to be careful when dealing with inequalities and multiplying by a negative number. Since 9 is positive, we don't need to change the direction of the inequality.
9 * (5x/9) < 9 * 8
This simplifies to:
5x < 72
Next, we can isolate x by dividing both sides of the inequality by 5:
(5x)/5 < 72/5
This simplifies to:
x < 14.4
