Question

2y-7>8y+9
A) y<8/3
B) y<-8/3
C) y>8/3
D) y>-8/3

Answer 1

Hey, treat it as if it were a normal equation, with just a little more rules, such as when you multiply or divide in an inequality the sign flips.

So collect like terms, and see what you get first.

Answer 2

2y - 7 > 8y + 9
2y - 8y > 9 + 7
-6y > 16 When dividing or multiplying by a negative number, reverse the sense of the inequality sign. Leaving that up to you.

Answer 3

is it b

Answer 4

-6y > 16 What must be done to both sides to get the value of just y on the left side? This is algebra.

Answer 5

you divide both side by -6

Answer 6

Yes, the answer is choice b.

Answer 7

Answer 8

thanks lol
