step by step

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how you solve this inequality - comen please - try it writing here step by step

OpenStudy (mustbethestars):

Try all the options :) The equation is saying that 4y +16 is greater than -8 So A is suggesting Y is greater than -6. 4(-6) + 16 > -8 -24 + 16 > -8 -8 > -8 so greater than this..... 4(-5) + 16 > -8 -20 + 16 > -8 -4 > -8 (Confirmed) B is suggesting Y is greater than -2. However, with A confirmed this is invalid because y can be -5. C is suggesting Y is greatter than 2. However, with A confirmed this is invalid because y can be -5. D is suggesting Y is greater than 6. However, with A confirmed this is invalid because y can be -5. #ProcessOfElimination

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

4y + 16 > –8 4y > -24 divide both sides by 4 y > -6 so this mean the choice A sure yes ?
