Question

Can someone please help me answer this question? I really need help ... I will fan and medal...
Question~
write the following inequalities in y = mx + b form.
2x + y/3 < 6
*NOTE the < has a line under it

Answer 1

@retirEEd could you help me?

Answer 2

I hate inequalities ;(
I normally treat them like they are NOT inequalities and add the inequality into the final answer. It is logical but it works for me.

Answer 3

Shall we start...

write the following inequalities in y = mx + b form.
2x + y/3 < 6

2x + y/3 = 6 subtract 2x from both sides

2x -2x +y/3 = -2x +6

Answer 4

There is more, but what do you get after subtracting 2x from both sides....

2x -2x +y/3 = -2x +6

Answer 5

y/3>6-2x?

Answer 6

> ???

Answer 7

sorry I meant to put =

Answer 8

Ok

Answer 9

So in order to get

y/3= 6-2x

Into this form y = mx + b

What needs to happen?

Answer 10

Multiply both sides by 3?

Answer 11

Yes now do it.

Answer 12

3*y/3= 6-2x*3
y=6x+18

Answer 13

Close but not correct or maybe there is a typo.

Answer 14

hmmm I'm not sure is it a -6?

Answer 15

Yes -6x to be exact

Answer 16

oh ok

Answer 17

so now you need to add in the inequality

Answer 18

so -6+18=12?

Answer 19

What that make no sense to what we were trying to solve.

Answer 20

oh... I thought you meant to add those two numbers...

Answer 21

This was the original ...

Question~
write the following inequalities in y = mx + b form.
2x + y/3 < 6

Answer 22

I meant the inequality sign. I shouldn't have said add, sorry.

Answer 23

oh ok, so Y>18-6x?

Answer 24

Nope

Answer 25

hmm :/ i don't know what to do then

Answer 26

Hint:

2x + y/3 < 6
*NOTE the < has a line under it

Answer 27

so I need to put the line under the < or would it be >?

Answer 28

Yes

Answer 29

ok umm do you know how to do that on a laptop?

Answer 30

Me either

Answer 31

ok I'll just add a note for my teacher... but other than the line this Y>18-6x is right?

Answer 32

but you need to make note of it

Sometimes I do <= or >=

Which one should it you use for this equation solution?

Answer 33

I think >

Answer 34

well =>

Answer 35

What was the original sign?

Answer 36

<= but I thought the sign changes?

Answer 37

Why would the sign change?

Answer 38

I don't know I just thought it did

Answer 39

The y is the dependent variable and x is the independent variable.

Did the dependent variable change SIDEs ?

Answer 40

no sir/ma'am

Answer 41

So the inequality will not change.

At least this is what I believe, but remember I don't like inequalities. Check with your teacher to be sure :)

Answer 42

yes sir, thank you very much!! you're amazing!

Answer 43

Thank you and ...

y <= -6x +18 would be the proper form

Answer 44

I have one more question that I need help with... would you mind trying to help me it's graphing inequalities

Answer 45

Not tonight. I have to get ready for my internet talk show.

Answer 46

ok, well thank you for your help!
