Question

  1. $8>x+9$

(there is a number line below, marked with -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and extending in both directions)

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 9 from both sides

$8 - 9 > x + 9 - 9$

Step2: Simplify both sides

$-1 > x$ or $x < -1$

Step3: Graph on number line

Mark an open circle at $x=-1$, shade all values to the left.

Answer:

$x < -1$ (On the number line, draw an open circle at $-1$ and shade the region to the left of $-1$.)
