Question

Solve the following inequality.Answer in terms of an improper fraction.

3y + 5 < 10

Answer 1

\[3y >5\]\[y >5/3\]

Answer 2

3y + 5 = 10 (subtract 5 from both sides)
3y + 5 - 5 = 10 - 5 (combine like terms)
3y = 10 - 5
3y = 5 (divide by 3 on both sides to get x by itself)
3y/3 = 5/3
x = 5/3

Answer 3

oops....instead of = sign it is supposed to be >.
