The inequality is always true.
To see why, we can simplify both sides of the inequality:
3x - 9 < 3(x - 4)
3x - 9 < 3x - 12
Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get:
-9 < -12
This is a true statement, since -9 is indeed less than -12.
Therefore, the original inequality is always true, regardless of the value of x.
Is the inequality always, sometimes, or never true?
3x - 9 < 3(x - 4)

the bot is wrong,
-9 < -12 is a false statement, -9 > -12 , so the original statement is false for
all values of x
-9 < -12 is a false statement, -9 > -12 , so the original statement is false for
all values of x
