Add 9 to both sides of the equation. The direction of the < sign will not change.
After you have done that, divide both sides of the resulting equation by 8. (That is the same as multiplying by 1/8)
You should end up with an inequality of the form
x < ___
The direction of the < sign stays the same in the second step, because the multiplier was a positive number.
