Answer
$ j\lt 2$
The graph is shown below.
Work Step by Step
The given inequality is
$\Rightarrow j+9-3\lt 8$
Add like terms.
$\Rightarrow j+6\lt 8$
Subtract $6$ from each side.
$\Rightarrow j+6-6\lt 8-6$
Simplify.
$\Rightarrow j\lt 2$
Hence, the solution is $ j\lt 2$.
Use an open circle because $2$ is not a solution.
Shade the number line on the left side.
