Fill in the Blank

A route-efficiency analyst at a logistics firm compares the operating costs of two shipping networks. The mathematical model for this comparison is represented by the inequality 8x−2(5−x)<4(x+9)+6x{}8x - 2(5 - x) < 4(x + 9) + 6x. After expanding and simplifying both sides, the analyst finds that the variable is eliminated, resulting in the unconditionally true statement −10<36-10 < 36. Since this resulting statement is always true regardless of the value of xx, this inequality is formally classified as an ____.
