Sorry solving inequality for y in the equation x-2y<4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Work it like any algebra problem. Imagine it is an equal sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right in doing so I get y>-2-x Is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You made algebra mistakes. The only way to get the -2 away from y is to divide; there is no division in your answer. Also when you cross a negative over (in order to get the y positive) you have to change the direction of > thingy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhhh yes got it thanks so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y>-1/2 -x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to start from the top, the 2 is going to divide the 4 and the x. And some how you turning the > either too much or not enough.
