1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the inequality 1>z81 > z - 8 and graph the solution on a number line.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to isolate zz in the inequality.
To do this, we can add 8 to both sides of the inequality:
1+8>z8+81 + 8 > z - 8 + 8
9>z9 > z
This can also be written as z<9z < 9.
So, zz is less than

9. This means we need to draw a ray on the number line starting at 9 and extending to the left (towards smaller numbers). Since the inequality is $z < 9$, we should use an open circle at 9, indicating that 9 is not included in the solution.

3. Final Answer

z<9z < 9
