Question

Which graph is the solution to the inequality -3y-y+11>99

Answer 1

@Akeller27 I think you can solve this one for yourself, do what you did in the other question.

Answer 2

what about the -y i dont get that part

Answer 3

HINT: Add like terms.

Answer 4

Well what is -3y-y?

Answer 5

-4y > 110

y > -27.5

Answer 6

am i right or wrong?

Answer 7

i dont know

Answer 8

Like I was saying before, when we have an inequality we solve just as we would if it was an equality. If the question was -3y-y+11=99 what would you do first?

Answer 9

@ramit ; the inequality sign switches when the variable gets rid of a negative sign.

Answer 10

thanks for the info

Answer 11

:(

Answer 12

subtract 11 from both sides so 99-11=88 and 11-11=0

Answer 14

Very good, but you also need to combine similar terms (hint: get the y terms together).

Answer 15

then divide 99/-3=-29

Answer 16

Have you gotten to the stage where you have -3y-y>88 Akeller?

Answer 17

nevermind i figureed it out thanks anyways

Answer 18

Even better :D

Answer 19
