yes, y-2y+2

-y+2 okay what's next?

also, check which direction your > sign is pointing

Answer 29

That's an answer! Thank you! You're my favorite, you're one of the few who actually explains and lets me do the work at the same time thank you

Answer 30

your answer is wrong, check which way the < sign is pointing

Answer 31

So Y < 10?

Answer 32

yes, do you understand why?

Answer 33

also, check your sign on 10

Answer 34

Because when you multiply a negative you have to swap the directions. so it's y<-10

Answer 35

right?
