Answer: 5 > k
Step-by-step explanation: When you're asked to solve an inequality like - 45 < - 9k, your goal should be the same as it was when solving equations which is to get k by itself on one side.
In this problem since k is being multiplied by - 9 on the right side of the inequality, to get k by itself, we divide both sides by - 9 but here is the rule you have to watch out for when solving inequalities.
When you divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must switch the direction of the inequality sign. So this less than in our original problem becomes greater than in our second step. I would recommend switching it as soon as possible so you don't forget.
Let's rewrite our original inequality.
-45 < - 9k
On the right side, the - 9's cancel and we're left with k and on the right side, - 45 divided - 9 is - 5. So we have 5 > k.
