Final answer:
The minimum value for s is 4, considering that d is greater than -7. The value of s can be any number ensuring that when added to d, the sum is greater than -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has provided the inequality d + s > -3 and stated that the solution for d is d > -7. In order to find the value of s, we need to substitute the value of d into the original inequality.
Let's assume d is exactly -7 (as we know it must be greater than -7), we will have:
-7 + s > -3
If we add 7 to both sides of the inequality:
s > -3 + 7
s > 4
Therefore, the minimum value for s is 4, since d is greater than -7. As d becomes larger, s could be any value as long as the sum of d and s is greater than -3.
