Question

solve
y-5>-20
the solution is
y I y > ? (what goes where the ? is)

Answer 1

is it -20

Answer 2

please simplify the answer

Answer 3

close, but you have that -5 on the left side that's complicating things

Answer 4

so how do we move it to the other side to completely isolate y?

Answer 5

you have -5 on the left side, what do you add to both sides to make that -5 on the left become 0?

Answer 6

-5

Answer 7

i hate algebra and thanks for your help by the way

Answer 8

i have -5, and i want to add something to it to get 0

Answer 9

add 5

Answer 10

that something is +5

so -5 plus 5 is 0


I must do the same to both sides, so add 5 to -20 to get -15

Answer 11

exactly, you got it

Answer 12

so you'll then get

y - 5 > -20


y - 5 + 5 > -20 + 5


y + 0 > -15


y > -15

Answer 13

so my answer should be
y I y > -15

Answer 14

yes, that's correct

Answer 15
