Example: Solving and Graphing 9c>729c > 72

To solve the linear inequality 9c>729c > 72, apply the Division Property of Inequality by dividing both sides by 99. Since 99 is a positive number, the inequality sign remains in the same direction, yielding c>8c > 8. To represent this solution on a number line, place a left parenthesis at 88 and shade the region to the right. In interval notation, the solution is written as (8,)(8, \infty).
