Question

Can someone tell me if i did this right.
-2y - 7 > 11

Part 1: Solve the inequality above.
Part 2: Describe the graph of the solution.

Answer 1

Part 1:
-2y - 7 > 11 to make the equation simple, you can change the > sign to an = sign.
-2y - 7 = 11 now you will add seven to both sides
+7 +7
-2y = 18 now you will divide -2 to both sides
-- --
-2 -2 now you get X
X = -9 but now you put your > sign back into the equation.
X > -9

Part 2: To graph this you would have an open circle on -9 shading to the right.

Answer 2

ok thank you i had a feely something was wrong

Answer 3

Whenever you multiply an inequality by -1, the direction of the arrow needs to be flipped, so y < -9

Answer 4

I agree with rowan!
should be y < -9

Answer 5

thus to graph, open circle on -9 and shade to left!

Answer 6

-2y-7>11
-2y>18
-y>9 (remember to flip sign)
y<-9

Answer 7

ok thank you
