Multiplying a negative and a positive equals a negative: (-) × (+) = (-)
[tex] - 9 < - \frac{ 1}{5} x[/tex]
Multiplying both side of the inequality by -5 and flip the inequality sign:
[tex]( - 5) \times ( - 9) = 45[/tex]
[tex]45 > x[/tex]
Now, swap the sides of the inequality and flip the inequality sign:
[tex]x < 45[/tex]
