Answer

$(-\infty, \infty)$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of inequality, the given expression, $ 9+|x|\gt7 ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} |x|\gt7-9 \\\\ |x|\gt-2 .\end{array} The left side of the inequality, $ |x|\gt-2 ,$ always gives a non-negative value. This is always greater than the value at the right. Hence, the solution set is $ (-\infty, \infty) .$
