(1 point)
Responses

y < -12
y < -12

y > -12
y > -12

y < 18
y < 18

y > 18
y > 18

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( y + 15 < 3 \), we can isolate \( y \) by subtracting 15 from both sides:

\[
y + 15 - 15 < 3 - 15
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
y < -12
\]

So, the correct solution is:

**y < -12**
