Answers:
x > 9
Graph has open circle
Arrow points to the right
======================================
Reason:
Add 7 to both sides to go from the original inequality to 9 < x, which is the same as x > 9
The graph will involve an open circle at 9. We don't include this endpoint because there isn't "or equal to" in the inequality sign.
We shade to the right due to the "greater than"
This visually shows all values larger than 9.
