Error is between steps 4 and 5. It should say:

Step 4: -9x < 27
Now divide by -9
Step 5: x > -3
Note that the inequality changes direction.
When you mean multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality changes direction.

For example:
4 < 5
Multiply by -1:
-4 > -5

Another example:
-5 < 0
5 > 0
