Answer 1

ANSWER

$6$

EXPLANATION

We want to find the greatest number which will make the inequality below true:

$2+\lvert\square\rvert<9_{}$

Let the missing number be x, so we have:

$2+x<9$

We have to solve the inequality:

$\begin{gathered} x<9-2 \\ x<7 \end{gathered}$

This means that the number must be less than 7.

The greatest number less than 7 is 6.

The answer is 6.
