An inequality for a number exceeds 9

We are asked to write an inequality that would represent a number exceeds 9. In the problem, we need to assign "n" variable to represent the number (any number) and we need to ">" symbol to represent "greater than" or "exceed". Thus, the inequality can be represented as:

n > 9

The answer is n > 9 and this would represent the phrase "a number that exceeds 9".
