I will medal 3y + 15 > -6 A. y >3 B. y >-7 C. y > 13 D.y >-13 Please help

So first you go in reverse order of operations, trying to isolate the y. What is the first step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um.... multiplying 3 by y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I have to figure out what y is so I can't do that yet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well what is order of operations? Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction right? If we're going reverse trying starting at addition or subtraction instead of multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you would add 15 to 3 first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it B.?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it is well done
