Is the inequality below sometimes always or never true 22x

Is the inequality below sometimes, always, or never true?

-2(2x + 9) > -4x + 9

Solution

-2 ( 2x + 9 ) > -4x + 9

distributing -2 over 2x+9

-4x - 18 > -4x + 9

adding 4x on both sides

-4x + 4x - 18 > 9

-18 > 9

the inequality is never true
