Question

top 2 answers get a MEDAL :)

How would you simplify the inequality 2x-4y < 3/2x+7y

Answer 1

Try to move x to one side of the inequality and y to the other side

Answer 2

2x-4y<3/2x+7y

Answer 3

then, subtract 2x from both sides

Answer 4

please type everything in one post... it floods the post please

Answer 5

alright

Answer 6

2x-4y < 3/2x+7y

Step 1: Move "x" to one side:

2x-4y -3/2x < 3/2x - 3/2 x + 7y

2x-3/2x - 4y < 7y

1/2x - 4y< 7y

Step 2: Move "y" to one side

1/2 x < 11y

x<22 y is the answer!

Answer 7

2x-4y < 3/2x+7y
+4y +4y

2x<3/2x+11y
-3/2x -3/2x

1/2x<11y
dived each side by 1/2

x<22y!!
