Question

how do i solve :6-2(5y-1)<18

shadowfiend · Answer

Solve it as if the < were an =.

As a general rule, that's what you do with all inequalities. *If* you have to divide by a negative, then you'll have to flip the < around to become a >.

Why don't you work through them on here and I'll tell you at each step whether you're doing good. I'll start you off with the first one:

$$\begin{align}
6 - 2(5y - 1) &< 18\
-2(5y - 1) &< 18 - 6\
-2(5y - 1) &< 12
\end{align}$$
