Answer

Subtract $\frac{7}{5}$ from each side.

Work Step by Step

To solve an inequality, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the inequality. $9\lt\frac{7}{5}+s\longrightarrow$ subtract $\frac{7}{5}$ from each side to isolate s on the right side $9-\frac{7}{5}\lt\frac{7}{5}+s-\frac{7}{5}\longrightarrow$ subtract $7\frac{3}{5}\lt s$
