Answer 1

answer:
-3
see explanation:
9-y>12

-y>12-9

-y>3

y<-3

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

solving the inequality

9 - y > 12 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

- y > 3 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

Remembering to reverse the inequality symbol when multiplying/ dividing by a negative quantity

y < - 3 ← reverse symbol

Thus y is less than or equal to - 3

The only value from the list which makes this true is - 6 → B
