Answer:

A. It is not a solution because 9 is not greater than 9.

Explanation:

The given inequality is
x\:>\:9.

We want to determine whether 9 is a solution to the given inequality.

We substitute 9 into the inequality to get;


9\:>\:9

This statement is not true, because 9 is not greater than itself.

Therefore 9 is not a solution because 9 is not greater than 9.

The correct choice is A.
