OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't get what r u suppose 2 do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OKEY y=9<9.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry y=9<9.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thts the answer.. but could u show me the steps pls (: and what is an inequality i"m confused sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since y-3.5<6 now add 3.5 to both sides y-3.5+3.5<6+3.5 y<9.5 9<9.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so ur suppose to solve for Y??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but y here is the given 9. but if the given number is 10, the statment w'll be wrong or not a solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we found out that y<9.5 so 9 < 9.5 but 10 > 9.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 is fewer than 9.5 ohhh i got mixed up i thought > this sign ment tht it was fewer than but it means more than right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
