Hey there!
Basically this question is asking you to translate this in a equation
So,
[tex]Nine = 9 [/tex]
[tex]times = multiply [/tex]
[tex]five = 5 [/tex]
[tex]less-than= \ \textless \ [/tex]
[tex]twice = 2 [/tex]
[tex]x =x [/tex]
Now that we broke it down for better understanding, lets answer your question!
[tex]9(5) \ \textless \ 2x [/tex]
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
