Answer: Q > 102

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

We follow PEMDAS in reverse to isolate Q

Q/6 + 9 > 26

Q/6 > 26-9 ... subtract 9 from both sides

Q/6 > 17

Q > 17*6 .... multiply both sides by 6

Q > 102

We can have Q be any value larger than 102.

Note how the inequality sign stays the same the entire time. If we multiplied both sides by a negative number, then the inequality sign would flip; however, we multiplied both sides by a positive number.
