Question

Y is such that 4y _ 7<= 3y and 3y <= 5y +8. What range of values of y satisfies both inequalities

Answer 1

-4≤y≤7

Explanation:

Given the inequality expressions

4y - 7 ≤ 3y and 3y≤5y+8

For 4y - 7 ≤ 3y

Collect like terms

4y - 3y ≤ 7

y ≤ 7

For 3y≤5y+8

Collect like terms

3y - 5y ≤ 8

-2y ≤ 8

y ≥ 8/-2

y ≥ -4

Combining both solutions

-4≤y≤7

Hence the range of values of y that satisfies both inequalities is -4≤y≤7
