Answer 7

Answer 8

you need use your words and describe where your having the trouble. The whole 'i don't understand' routine does nothing to narrow it down

Answer 9

normally when people dont specify where they are having trouble it means the WHOLE PROBLEM!!!!!!!

Answer 10

first unblock me

Answer 11

then see the previous post where i walk you through the 'whole problem' including:
1) clarification of what is being asked in the question,
2) method of solution through algebra
3) method of solution on number line

the answer can't just be downloaded to your brain, there is some amount of effort required from your end, regardless of how much you elevate and demand things.

Answer 12

you are

Answer 13

Most fundamentally, you must know that you need

y > stuff

Getting that 'y' all alone is your task. How are things attached to the 'y' and how can you get them off.

y + 5 -- 5 is attached by addition. Use subtraction to move it.

y / 5 -- 5 is attached by division. Use multiplication to move it.

Answer 21

subtract 15 from both side in main equation and then divide both side by 3 . Reply what you get ?

Answer 22

I don't get what you mean by that

Answer 23

3y + 15 > -6
Subtract 15 from both sides
3y+15-15 > -6-15
you get..
3y > -21
Divide by 3 on both sides
3y/3 > -21/3
You get..
y > -7
