Answer :

### For the first inequality: [tex]\(2x - 3 < -9\)[/tex]

Let's solve this step-by-step:

1. Starting Inequality:
[tex]\[ 2x - 3 < -9 \][/tex]

2. Add 3 to both sides:
[tex]\[ 2x - 3 + 3 < -9 + 3 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2x < -6 \][/tex]

3. Divide both sides by 2:
[tex]\[ \frac{2x}{2} < \frac{-6}{2} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x < -3 \][/tex]

Now, we need to test each of the given values to see if they satisfy [tex]\(x < -3\)[/tex]:
- [tex]\(x = -10:\)[/tex] [tex]\(-10 < -3\)[/tex] (True)
- [tex]\(x = -4:\)[/tex] [tex]\(-4 < -3\)[/tex] (True)
- [tex]\(x = -3:\)[/tex] [tex]\(-3 < -3\)[/tex] (False)
- [tex]\(x = -2:\)[/tex] [tex]\(-2 < -3\)[/tex] (False)
- [tex]\(x = 3:\)[/tex] [tex]\(3 < -3\)[/tex] (False)

So, the values that satisfy [tex]\(2x - 3 < -9\)[/tex] are:
- [tex]\(x = -10\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(x = -4\)[/tex]

### For the second inequality: [tex]\(-3x + 2 < 5\)[/tex]

Let's solve this step-by-step:

1. Starting Inequality:
[tex]\[ -3x + 2 < 5 \][/tex]

2. Subtract 2 from both sides:
[tex]\[ -3x + 2 - 2 < 5 - 2 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ -3x < 3 \][/tex]

3. Divide both sides by -3 and reverse the inequality (since dividing by a negative number reverses the direction):
[tex]\[ \frac{-3x}{-3} > \frac{3}{-3} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ x > -1 \][/tex]

Now, we need to test each of the given values to see if they satisfy [tex]\(x > -1\)[/tex]:
- [tex]\(x = -3:\)[/tex] [tex]\(-3 > -1\)[/tex] (False)
- [tex]\(x = -2:\)[/tex] [tex]\(-2 > -1\)[/tex] (False)
- [tex]\(x = -1:\)[/tex] [tex]\(-1 > -1\)[/tex] (False)
- [tex]\(x = 0:\)[/tex] [tex]\(0 > -1\)[/tex] (True)
- [tex]\(x = 1:\)[/tex] [tex]\(1 > -1\)[/tex] (True)

So, the values that satisfy [tex]\(-3x + 2 < 5\)[/tex] are:
- [tex]\(x = 0\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(x = 1\)[/tex]

### Summary

2. Circle the values that are solutions of the inequality [tex]\(-3x + 2 < 5\)[/tex]. Circle all that apply.
