Question

Solve the inequality 4-y > 5 for y. Show and justify your steps.

Answer 1

y < - 1

Explanation:

Given

4 - y > 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- y > 1

Multiply both sides by - 1, reversing the inequality symbol as a consequence of multiplying by a negative quantity, that is

y < - 1 ← inequality symbol reversed
