Responses

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 can follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides by \(-3\). Remember that dividing or multiplying by a negative number reverses the inequality.

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

2. Simplifying \(\frac{21}{-3}\) gives:

\[ y < -7 \]

So, the correct inequality that gives the range of values for \(y\) is:

y < -7 (y less than negative 7)
