Question

What is the inequality for this verbal description?

The value of y is greater than the sum of negative eight times the value of x and nine

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

We can see Part by Part to get this question.

• "The value of y is greater than.." -- this part implies y >

• "The sum of negative 8 times x and 9" -- we need to multiply -8 and x and SUM it to 9. thus we have:

-8*x + 9

Now we can finally write:

y > -8x + 9

Answer choice B is right.
