Solve for f.

Question

4<9–f

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( 4 < 9 - f \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 9 from both sides of the inequality:

   \[ 4 - 9 < -f \]

   This simplifies to:

   \[ -5 < -f \]

2. Now, multiply both sides by -1. Remember that when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, you need to reverse the inequality sign:

   \[ 5 > f \]

   or

   \[ f < 5 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ f < 5 \]
