OpenStudy (anonymous):

12<8y-y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the 2 for? i am so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y*y=y^2 its a exponent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so what am i supposed to do with that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well what is the math problem asking exactly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All you gave was a inequality, we could do lots of things with just that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is asking for me to solve the inequality

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Based on the answer choices, that's impossible. Since the highest power is y^2, there is 2 solutions if it were an equation.
