Solve.

4y + 16 > –8

A.
y > –6

B.
y > –2

C.
y > 2

D.
y > 6

I got y < -6

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

it looks like you switched the inequality for some reason

Answer 3

4y + 16 > -8
Subtract 16 from each side:
4y > -24
Divide each side by 4:
y > -6

Answer 4

Yeah because it has a negative number

Answer 5

change the inequality ONLY IF you are multiplying or dividing by a negative number

Answer 6

ohh

Answer 7

it does not matter whether the solution is positive or negative
it only matters if you multiply or divide by a negative number

Answer 8

wait I am.

Answer 9

since at the last step you are dividing by 4, positive 4, you don't switch anything

Answer 10

4 divided by -24 changes something

Answer 11

Answer 12

@pooja195

Answer 13

4y + 16 > –8
subtract 16 from both sides
-8-16=?

Answer 14

-8-16= -24

Answer 15

Good now we have
4y>-24
divide both sides by 4
to isolate y
4/4=?
-24/4=?

Answer 16

-6

Answer 17

so the answer would be...?

Answer 18

y<-6

Answer 19

why did you flip the sign?

Answer 20

because I divided it with a negative sign

Answer 21

We only flip the sign when we divide BY a negative
so if it was -4 we would flip the sign

Answer 22

so it matters which order we're dividing it?

Answer 23

no it matters what you are dividing by not the order
if i asked you to divide both sides by -4
y<-6 would be corrct but we are dividing by 4 only

Answer 24

ok
