Help will give medals away Solve. 4y + 16 > –8

OpenStudy (landshark5):

first you add 16 to both sides.

OpenStudy (31356):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually you need to subtract 16

OpenStudy (landshark5):

then you divide it by 4

OpenStudy (31356):

Oh yea, you do subtract

OpenStudy (landshark5):

treat inequalities as if it were an equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, you do the opposite. And it's addition, so you do subtraction.

OpenStudy (31356):

Subtract 16 on each side, then divide 4 on each side, and there you go

OpenStudy (31356):

And as a result you get 4

OpenStudy (31356):

Thanks @turqoisetuna !

OpenStudy (31356):

By the way Turquoise is my favorite color! :D

OpenStudy (31356):

So 4>-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@31356 no problem! you described it simply and perfectly

OpenStudy (31356):

Thank you! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My only two options are y >-6 and y>-4 (then the non negatives)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
