A number line is shown ranging from negative 2 to 18 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 11. A rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond 18.

To solve the inequality 6x + 9 > 57, we first subtract 9 from both sides:

6x > 48

Then, we divide both sides by 6:

x > 8

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x > 8.

The correct graph is the one where an open point is plotted on the number line at 8, and a rightward arrow is marked on the number line originating from the open point and going beyond 18.

So the correct answer is:

A number line is shown ranging from negative 2 to 18 with numbers listed in unit increments. An open point is plotted on the number line at 8. A rightward arrow is marked on the number line that originates at the open point and goes beyond 18.
