1 and -1

1) Solving that inequality we have:

9(2+3x) < 72 Divide both sides by 9

(2+3x) < 8

2+3x < 8 Subtract 2 from both sides

3x < 8 -2

3x < 6

x< 2

2) Since the value of x, must be lesser than 2, then we can state that given the options, the only one that verifies this inequality is 1 and -1

3) Hence, the possible answers are 1, and -1
