Can someone help me solve this?!

To solve an inequality, you solve it just like an equation with an = sign
y-3 ≥ -12
Add 3 to both sides
y ≥ -9
What this means is that y could be any number as long as it’s greater than (bigger) or equal to -9, so y could equal -9, -3, 100, or 0 but could not equal -10,-11, -9.3, or anything less than -9
To graph this, first write in numbers below each of the lines. You want to show -9, a few numbers less than -9 and a few numbers greater than -9. It could look like this:
-11 -10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5
Then, draw a filled in circle above -9. This shows that y can equal -9. Starting from where you drew the circle, draw an arrow to the right until the graph ends. This shows that y could be any of these numbers greater than -9, too.
I attached an example of a filled in number line for a different problem so you could see what it looks like. I hope this helps!

There are 7 letters in fission, which we'll use as a factorial in the numerator. Of those 7 letters, there are two I's and two S's. To account for these repeating letters, we'll use the factorials of how many times the letters repeat and plug them into the denominator.
The factorial of 7 should be your numerator, and two factorials of 2 should be your denominator:
There are 1260 different permutations of the word fission.
