To write an inequality using subtraction and the variable x, we need to determine the pattern among the given solutions x = 3, 5, 7, and 9.

The pattern between these numbers is that they are all odd numbers. So, we can write an inequality to include these solutions by subtracting an odd number from x.

Let's denote the odd number as 2k + 1, where k is an integer. This representation ensures that we subtract an odd number from x.

Now, we can write the inequality:

x - (2k + 1) ≄ 0

This inequality ensures that any odd number subtracted from x will result in a non-negative number, which includes the solutions x = 3, 5, 7, and 9.
