Solution Steps
Step 1: Solve the inequality
Given the inequality:
\[
|x-9|+3<9
\]
First, isolate the absolute value term:
\[
|x-9| < 6
\]
This inequality can be split into two separate inequalities:
\[
-6 < x-9 < 6
\]
Step 2: Solve the inequalities
Solve each part of the compound inequality:
\[
-6 < x-9 \quad \text{and} \quad x-9 < 6
\]
Add 9 to all parts of the inequality:
\[
-6 + 9 < x < 6 + 9
\]
\[
3 < x < 15
\]
Final Answer
The solution set in interval notation is:
\[
(3, 15)
\]
