Answer 7

well, what i did was take my numbers from the answers (like -5 and 1) and put the in the place of y. when i got to 1, and did the math, i ended up getting the answer 16. did i d the math right or is there a completely different way to do it?

Answer 8

you can do that, but there's fast way to do it ;) what you can do is add 24 to both sides. this is what you will end up with

8y > 8
then u divide 8 by both sides and get 1.
now maybe its faster, but say u had HUGE numbers. it would take forever to put all the numbers in the equation to solve. so just doing it that way, personally, i like better;)
