Answer:

z < 15

Explanation:

To solve for z, you need to isolate it on one side of the equal sign, or in this case, the < sign.

If you subtract 9 from the left side of the equation, z will be alone. But whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. So subtract 9 from 24 as well and you get z < 15
