Question

-1 + y/8 < 15

Answer 1

Well start by isolating that fraction....by adding 1 to both sides....

The get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides by 8

This will solve for 'y'

Answer 2

\[\frac{ -1 + y }{ 8 } < 15\]

Answer 3

Yeah....or if it is set up as @JA1 has shown...we need to know which one is correct

Answer 4

K so we use SADMEP remember?
1. Subtract/Add (whichever comes first from left ->right)
2. Division/Multiply (whichever comes first from left -> right)
3. Exponents
4. Parentheses
So ok can we add/subtract anything over to the right side to get that out of the way? Yes. We can add -1 to both sides which will then give us Now we move on to dividing/multiplying. Can we multiply/divide anything from the left side to move over to the right to get that out of the way? Yes. By multiplying 8 on both sides, it cancels out the y's and gives u y<128
