hero · Answer

And what exactly is the difficulty with solving this? What step are you stuck on?

cedric · Answer

solvong the inequality

hartnn · Answer

solving the inequality for y means keeping y on one side of equation to find its value....in -4y+17<=29
for that you have to shift 17 on other side,can u tell me how can u do that?

hartnn · Answer

@cedric

cedric · Answer

uhm by subtracting -4 on each side?

hartnn · Answer

by subtracting -17 on both sides,so that only -4y remains on left hand side of equation..

cedric · Answer

ohhh

cedric · Answer

ok soo

hartnn · Answer

so u get -4y<=12(29-17)
now how will u find y?
from -4y<=12
any idea?

cedric · Answer

dividing 4 by 12
and get 3?

hartnn · Answer

then u get -y<=3   or  y>=-3
because sign flips if we divide by negative number....ok till now?
