For this case we must indicate the solution of:

[tex]2a + 1> 9[/tex]or [tex]a <-1[/tex]

From the first inequality we have:

[tex]2a + 1> 9[/tex]

Subtracting 1 from both sides:

[tex]2a> 9-1\\2a> 8[/tex]

Dividing between 2 on both sides:

[tex]a> \frac {8} {2}\\a> 4[/tex]

Thus, we have:

[tex]a> 4[/tex]or [tex]a <-1[/tex]

The solution will be:

(4,∞) or (-∞, - 1)

Option C
