Question

3y + 15 > –6

Question 1 options:

y > 3

y > –7

y > 13

y > –17

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 3y + 15 > –6, we can start by subtracting 15 from both sides:

3y + 15 - 15 > -6 - 15

Simplifying, we get:

3y > -21

Next, we can divide both sides by 3 to isolate y:

3y / 3 > -21 / 3

Simplifying further:

y > -7

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is y > -7.
