Question

Which of the following would be the first step in solving problem #6?

#6: 2(y + 1) <= y - 4


a) Distribute by multiplying the 2 by y

2y + 1 <= y - 4


b) Add 4 on both sides

2(y + 1) + 4 <= y - 4 + 4


c) Divide both sides by 2

2(y + 1)/2 <= (y - 4)/2


d) Distribtue by multiplying both the y and 1 by 2.

2y + 2 <= y - 4
