Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-6y > 24\), you should divide both sides by \(-6\).

However, remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.

So, the correct response is:

Divide by -6 on both sides of the inequality.
