Solve, y+5>1

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Subtract 5 from both sides.

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

y>-4 ?

OpenStudy (bekkah323):

if the sign wasn't > but a (greater than or equal too) sign would i do the same thing?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the rules dont change .....

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

yes, y > -4 is correct, and yes, you'd do the same thing. if the the sign had been < or <=, you'd do the same too.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Remember that inequalities are different from equations when you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number. In that case, you must flip the inequality sign.
