ANSWER


6

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the greatest number which will make the inequality below true:


2+\lvert\square\rvert<9_{}

Let the missing number be x, so we have:


2+x<9

We have to solve the inequality:


\begin{gathered} x<9-2 \\ x<7 \end{gathered}

This means that the number must be less than 7.

The greatest number less than 7 is 6.

The answer is 6.
