y>7
y greater than 7

y<7
y less than 7

y<−7
y less than negative 7

y>−7

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-3y > 21\), we need to isolate \(y\).

1. First, divide both sides of the inequality by -3. Remember that when you divide by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign reverses:

\[ y < \frac{21}{-3} \]

2. Simplifying the right side:

\[ y < -7 \]

Thus, the correct answer is:

y < −7 (y less than negative 7).
