First part: 1 is less than the sum of x and 3: 1 < x+3.
Second part: the sum of x and 3 is less than 9.
Obviously 1 < 9.
Taking another look at 1<x+3, we can solve for x: -2<x. Draw a dashed vertical line thru x = -2.
Taking another look at x+3<9, subtract 3 from both sides. Then x<6.
Draw a dashed vertical line thru x=6.
Shade the area between these two vertical lines to obtain the desired graph.
