Answer 1

Let's break down each question step-by-step:

### Question 1
Consider the inequality:
\[ y - 14 < -25 \]

To solve this inequality, we need to isolate \( y \). The appropriate step is:
**Add 14 to both sides of the inequality.**

### Question 2
Now let's solve the inequality:
1. From the original inequality \( y - 14 < -25 \)
2. Adding 14 to both sides gives us:
\[ y - 14 + 14 < -25 + 14 \]
\[ y < -11 \]

The solution to the inequality is:
**y < -11**

### Question 3
The solution \( y < -11 \) means that \( y \) can take any value less than -11. When graphing this inequality:
- You would use an **open circle** at -11 (since -11 is not included in the solution).
- You would **shade left** to represent all the values less than -11.

The correct way to graph the solution is:
**Open circle, shade left.**

### Summary of Responses:
1. **Add 14 to both sides of the inequality.**
2. **y < -11**
3. **Open circle, shade left.**
