Question

9y-3>24;3
9(3)-3>24
27-3>24
24>24

Is this right or wrong?
Original problem: 9y-3>24;3

Answer 1

is there given that y=3

Answer 2

9y-3>24

Since -3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the inequality by adding 3 to both sides.
9y>3+24

Add 24 to 3 to get 27.
9y>27

Divide each term in the inequality by 9.
(9y)/(9)>(27)/(9)

Simplify the left-hand side of the inequality by canceling the common factors.
y>(27)/(9)

Simplify the right-hand side of the inequality by simplifying each term.
y>3

Answer 3

there should be given that y>3
y can not be equal to 3 , y should be greater than 3

Answer 4

9y> 27
y>3
Substitute it back in
9(3)-3 = 24
Therefore, 24 is correct since it's same

Answer 5

Mimi how can u place a equal to sign ?

Answer 6

it is given that 9y-3>24 not 9y-3=24

Answer 7

Woops typo,
9(3)-3>24
24>24

So, your working it out is correct, Jessica. Congrats

Answer 8

working out*

Answer 9

nope i again do not agree with u MIMI , since here 24>24 is not possible
y>3 not y=3 Jessica recheck ur question
i am sure that either the question typed by u is wrong or the question written is wrong in the source
Mimi what do u think about it ? can 24 be greater then 24 ?

Answer 10

Thank's Mimi. Um....Kusha? 3 is a given that's why it is after the semi-colon. :)

Answer 11

LOL, you have misunderstood it , she was showing

Answer 12

Mimi can 24 be greater than 24 ?

Answer 13

just wait for a minute every one

Answer 14

let us forget y=3
we have to solve the inequality 9y-3>24 ok........

Answer 15

No, I don't know how to explain, that was proving that "3" is right

Answer 16

Btw, I haven't done those questions in ages so idk if im right xD

Answer 17

The textbook said that. The TEXTBOOK is wrong. Omg I can't believe what I'm saying but yes, that is my answer. x) Can't wait to point that out to my sensei 2morrow!!!! xD

Answer 18

now see
9y-3>24
9y>24+3
9y>27
y>27/9
y>3
put any values more then 3
9(4) - 3 > 24
36-3>24
33>24
and so on...............

Answer 19

What did the textbook say ?

Answer 20

wtf, are you dong kusha, im not sure , but your working looks wrong already

Answer 21

Check whether the given number is a solution of the equation or inequality.
9y-3>24;3

I agree with Mimi, Kusha. The book said nothing of the sort.

Answer 23

see this

Answer 24

Yeah it's the solution of the equation. But what the "answer" say

Answer 25

I'd like to ask what your point is Kusha? I'm not sure I understand your link.

Answer 27

No solution!!!!!! :D

Answer 28

The answer is y>3 . I have no doubt that it is wrong. Im 100% sure that I'm right

Answer 29

Mimi u were saying y=3 and also jessica was saying the same

Answer 30

Yes........your point is?

Answer 31

and also jessica it showed no solution since the value of y=3 given do not satisfy the inequality

Answer 32

Your pissing me off, i was saying y>3 , im not that stupid you know, either way the answer is correct.

Answer 33

I know that it is no solution, Kusha. The textbook made a mistake, not us. -____-
Btw you swore, Mimi. Tsk tsk....

Answer 34

Jessica i think the final answer is not determined , the solution to y is y>3 not y=3 . i think that

Answer 35

Yup, I agree. The textbook was wrong like I said....

Answer 36

ARGHHHHHH~ i said "y>3"

Answer 37

Lol's Mimi. You win. I chose, Mimi!!!! xD
