Question

solve the inequality for y.
$-15 > -5y$
simplify your answer as much as possible.

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -5

$\frac{-15}{-5} < \frac{-5y}{-5}$
Note: Inequality sign flips when dividing by a negative number

Step2: Simplify both sides

$3 < y$ or $y > 3$

Answer:

$y > 3$
