Question

Michelle says that the solution to the inequality 2(4y-3) > -22 is y > -3.5.

what was her mistake. What is the solution to the inequality.

Answer 1

The solution of the given inequality is y>-2.

Explanation:

The given inequality is :

2(4y-3) > -22

Using distributive property on LHS of the above inequality.

8y-6 >-22

Add 6 both sides of the inequality

8y-6+6 >-22+6

8y>-16

y>-2

So, the value of y is more than -2.
