To solve the inequality \( x - 9 < 15 \), follow these steps:

1. **Add 9 to both sides** of the inequality:

\[
x - 9 + 9 < 15 + 9
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x < 24
\]

2. **Determine the solution set**: Since the replacement set is the set of integers, the solution set will consist of all integers that are less than 24.

Thus, the solution set is:

\[
\{ \ldots, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots, 23 \}
\]

In interval notation, this can be expressed as:

\[
(-\infty, 24)
\]

However, specifically for integers, you can list them as \( \{ x \in \mathbb{Z} \mid x < 24 \} \).
