-1<<5y+2/3<4 -1 2/3<5y<3 1/3 -5/3<5y<10/3 divide each side of the inequality by 5 the answer then becomes: -1/3<y<2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correction, the 5y + 2 is all divided by 3, couldn't figure out how to show it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-1 < \frac{ 5y+2 }{ 3 }<4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ow,if that's the case,then we'll have: −1<(5y+2)/3<4 -3<5y+2<12 divide each side of the equation by 5 the answer this time shall be: -1<y<2
