Question

Which is the solution set of the inequality 15y-9 < 36?

A. y >9/5
B. y <9/5
C. y <3
D. y >3
Please help!

Answer 1

15y<36-9 ==>15y<27

y<27/15 ==>y<9/5

answer is B

Answer 2

The correct answer option is C. y < 3.

Explanation:

We are given the following inequality and we are to solve it in terms of y and find its solution set:

`15y - 9 < 36`

Taking the constants to one side of the inequality and variable at the other side to get:

`15y < 36 + 9`

`15y < 45`

`y < \frac {45} {15}`

`y < 3`
