-2x + 5 > 9
Solution:
1. Subtract 5 from both sides:
-2x > 4
2. Divide by -2 (note: since dividing by a negative number, flip the inequality sign):
x < -2
Therefore, the solution to the inequality -2x + 5 > 9 is x < -2.
(Note: inequality sign should be pointing to the left, indicating x is less than -2)
