inequalities

Hayley: Did you read the question carefully? Look at again. Is it an equation or an inequality?.

Simplifying

3y + -15 = -6

Reorder the terms:

-15 + 3y = -6

Solving

-15 + 3y = -6

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '15' to each side of the equation.

-15 + 15 + 3y = -6 + 15 Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0

0 + 3y = -6 + 15

3y = -6 + 15

Combine like terms: -6 + 15 = 9

3y=9

Divide each side by '3'.

y=3

Simplifying

y = 3

Hopefully what i just did makes since! (:

Have a great day!!!

3y+15>-6 please help

3y+15>-6  subtract 15 to both sides

3y+15-15>-6-15

3y>-21 divide both sides by 3

y>-7

oh, it's an iniquality!
