Answer: x > 6

The graph is shown below.

===========================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to get x by itself. To do this we subtract 9 from both sides.

This is to undo the +9

x+9 > 15

x+9-9 > 15-9

x > 6

This describes all numbers larger than 6. To visually show this on a number line, we have an open circle at 6 and shading to the right.

The open circle is to exclude the endpoint from the solution set.

If the solution set consists of integers only then it would be {7, 8, 9, ...}
