What is the solution of the inequality −x + 9 > 1?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x < 8

The key rule is that multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number reverses its direction. Begin with −x + 9 > 1. Subtract 9 from both sides to get −x > −8. To change −x into x, divide both sides by −1. Since −1 is negative, the sign reverses: x < 8. Therefore option A is correct. A quick check confirms the result: if x = 7, then −7 + 9 = 2 > 1; if x = 8, the expression equals 1, which is not strictly greater than 1. Thus 8 is excluded. Options B and D fail to reverse the sign, while option C incorrectly includes the equality case.
