Easy -1.8 This is a straightforward one-step linear inequality requiring only basic algebraic manipulation (collecting like terms and dividing). It's a routine exercise testing recall of inequality solving rules with no problem-solving element, making it significantly easier than average A-level questions.
M2 for \(9 < 6x\) or M1 for \(-6x < -9\) or \(k < 6x\) or \(9 < kx\) or \(7+2 < 5x+x\) [condone \(\leq\) for Ms]; if 0, allow SC1 for \(9/6\) o.e. found
