Answer:

y can be equal to:

1. 18

2. 19

3. 20

Explanation:

To be able to find what y could be, not just 3 numbers, you can solve it like a regular equation.

First subtract 7 from both sides:

17 < y

So, any values above 17 (17+) could be what y is.

Let's go with 18, 19, and 20 for this example.

24 < 18 + 7

24 < 19 + 7

24 < 20 + 7

When the right side of all 3 inequalities are solved, you get 25, 26, and 27, which are all greater than 24, making these inequalities true.
