To solve the inequality \( 6x + 9 > 57 \), we start by isolating \( x \).

Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ 6x > 57 - 9 \] \[ 6x > 48 \]
Divide both sides by 6: \[ x > \frac{48}{6} \] \[ x > 8 \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is \( x > 8 \).

Now, we need to identify which graph corresponds to this solution. The correct representation for \( x > 8 \) would be:

An open point at 8.
An arrow extending to the right from 8, indicating all values greater than 8.

Based on those criteria, 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.
