Question

-7y - 17 > 11
Part 1: Solve the inequality above.
Part 2: Describe the graph of the solution.

Answer 1

FLVS? :P

Answer 2

yup

Answer 3

alright so lets do this :)

Answer 4

solving an inequality is just like solving an equation, theres just an inequality sing in place of the equal sign :)

so we treat them the same:

\[-7y-17>11\]add the 17 over to the other side\[-7y>28\]divide the -7 over to the other side\[y<-4\] ^ since we divided by a negative we have to flip the sign

Answer 5

Part 1: COMPLETE! :)

Answer 6

when graphing an inequality on a number line you have to decide whether the dot will be open or closed, for which you look at the inequality sign:
\[>~or~< ~open\]\[\ge ~or~\le~closed\]
our equation \[y<-4\]will have an open dot...

next we need to see which way (left or right) the arrow will go. since y is any number greater than negative 4 the arrow will be going to the right (numbers higher than negative 4):
