For this problem:
19-9y-6y%3C94
First combine the y's
19-15y%3C94
Next is to get y by itself by subtracting 19 from the left side to the right side of the equation.
-15y%3C94-19
-15y%3C75
Now here when you divide -15 on both sides, you would switch the sign:
whenever you divide or multiply by a negative number you always switch the sign.
-15y%2F-15>75%2F-15
y%3E-3

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Comment: It is number pairs if there are two variables; but your
inequality has only one variable.
----------------------------------------------
19-9y-6y<94
10 - 15y < 94
-15y < 84
y > -84/15
y > -28/5
