Question

Determine whether the given numbers are solutions of the equality.

6, -19, -13, -3 and y -9>2y - 2

Answer 1

Can anyone anwser this?

Answer 2

You plug each number in for y I believe and see if its true.
For example :
(6) - 9 > 2(6) - 2
- 3 > 12 - 2
-3 > 10

That is not true. So it is not the value..Do this with each one.. =)

Answer 3

Oh kat...I am so confused.

Answer 4

So are the given numbers solutions for the equality?

Answer 5

oh I meant for the inquality

Answer 6

Okay Bunny, basically what you do, is plug in each number they have given to you into the inequality and see its true.

The example above, that I did one of the numbers was not true because -3 cannot be greater than 10

Answer 7

gosh, you are so over my head.

Answer 8

Dont get it still?

Answer 9

NO, I really don't

Answer 10

Okay follow the steps:

Answer 11

I'll try

Answer 12

6, -19, -13, -3 and y -9>2y - 2

So let us plug in EACH number into Y in the inequality..Let us start with the given number 6 (PLUG INTO "Y")
Y - 9 > 2Y - 2
(6) - 9 > 2(6) - 2 (6 is inserted instead of "y")
6 - 9 > 12 - 2
-3 > 10

This is not true because there is NO WAY NEGATIVE 3 can be GREATER than POSITIVE 10

Do you get this part?

Answer 13

NO, I don't. Damn it.

Answer 14

O_O Which part dont you get?

Answer 15

The entire scenario.

Answer 16

It just makes no sense to me.

Answer 17

HMM okay You dont get WHAT your supposed to do in this?

All your supposed to do is plug in the numbers they gave you (6, -19, -13, -3 ) ONE BY ONE as "Y" in the inequalit y -9>2y - 2

Now do you get it? O_O

Answer 18

I feel really stupid.
