To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality.
Starting with the inequality:
9 > x - 3
We can add 3 to both sides to move the -3 to the other side:
9 + 3 > x - 3 + 3
This simplifies to:
12 > x
So the solution is:
x < 12
To graph this solution on a number line, we shade the area to the left of 12:
