Answer 2

Yes. I know the answer, but need to show it to teach my daughter

Answer 3

no...sorry....(.07*y)

Answer 4

0.3y >= 75000
y>=250,000

Answer 5

crap! sometimes you just look to make things difficult!

Answer 6

thanks for ur help

Answer 7

So y - .07 y = 1*y - .07y = (1 – .07) y = .93 y.

Then you have .93 y > or = 75000.

You can divide both sides by .93 to solve for y.
You get y > or = 75000/ .93 = whatever the calculator says.

Note that you don’t need to switch the signs on the inequality when you divide by a positive number.

But if it had been like -.93y > or = than 75000,
then dividing by -.93, you’d get that y < or = 75000/(-.93).
