Question

The solution to which inequality is shown?



A.
y + 5 > –2

B.
y + 5 ≥ –2

C.
y + 5 < –2

D.
y + 5 ≤ –2

Answer 1

A out of the question and D

Answer 2

i mean B

Answer 3

first isolate the y

Answer 4

on C and D

Answer 5

cant give out answers only guide you

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

what do I do next?

Answer 8

open circle means there is no equal sign in the problem
shading to the right means (>) greater then

so your answer to the graph is y > -7
now you just have to solve the inequalities and see which one gives you that answer. Keep in mind, you can automatically eliminate all the answer choices that contain an equal sign

Answer 9

do you know how to solve inequalities ?

Answer 10

well show me the work

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

I don't know how to solve them i mean

Answer 13

they are basically solved just like equations except for the rule of when dividing/multiplying by a negative number in an inequality will change the inequality sign

Answer 14

for example 2y + 3 > 4
you've got to isolate y
2y > 4-3
but now you have to divide 2y to both sides
so y > 1/2
and graph them like this
open circle = ><
closed circle = ≥≤

Answer 15

when it is directing like this: < it would go =>
when it is directing like this: > it would go <=

Answer 16

what is the "open circle = ><
closed circle = ≥≤"?

Answer 17

so you try it

Answer 18

Okay

Answer 19

you see in the pic. there is an open circle around the -7

Answer 20

so this is telling you that it is ><

Answer 21

are you understanding

Answer 22

open circle means there is no equal sign...so you answers will only contain either < or >
closed circle means there is an equal sign...so your answer will contain <= or >=....I cant make that line under the inequality sign

Answer 23

yeah basically open circle = <or>
and closed circle = ≤or≥

Answer 24

K. but should I add the 5 + (-2) like this?

Answer 25

thx @texaschic101

Answer 26

yeah well simplify it and it goes like 5-2 = ? everyone knows

Answer 27

Never mind. I got it. Thanks!
