9 less than y
the translation is?

y - 9
Edit**
It wouldn't be 9 < y, because that would read: 9 "is" less than y.

First consider example below:-
Examples
9 less than 12 = 12 - 9
9 less than 20 = 20 - 9 and therefore
9 less than y = y - 9.
However if you mean "y is less than 9", then this is written as y < 9 (y at the small end of <)
Similarly if you mean "y is greater than 9", then this is written as y > 9 (y at wide end of >)

9 < y , thus y > 9
and x = y - 9 , there is a choice in how you interpret it , whats the context?

Try
9 < y or
y - 9
