Thank you, TutorCat. I was in over my head on this one.
To find the value of y, we need to isolate it in the given inequality. Let's solve the given inequality step by step:
1. Start with -y < 36, which means the negative of y is less than 36.
2. To isolate y, we need to get rid of the negative sign. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the inequality by -1. Remember, when we multiply an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign needs to be flipped.
-1 × (-y) > -1 × 36
This simplifies to y > -36.
Therefore, the value of y is greater than -36.
