Answer:

  D

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality symbol is < (not ≤), which means the end point of the graph will be an open circle.

After dividing by the coefficient of x, you have an inequality of the form ...

  x +( ) < ( )

which means the solution will be left of the (open circle) end point of the graph. Only one graph has that form.

If you actually work through the numbers, you get ...

  x +8 < 9 . . . . . . divide both sides by 2.9

  x < 1 . . . . . . . . . subtract 8 from both sides
