Question

Determine the value of y in the inequality.

12 + 4y < 32

y < 5
y > 5
y < −8
y > −8

Answer 1

y < 5

Explanation:

12 + 4y < 32

4y < 32 - 12

4y < 20

y < 5

Answer 2

↠ Answer:

y < 5

↠ Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the following inequality, isolate y.

Given inequality :

↠ 12 + 4y < 32

⇒ Follow these steps to isolate y.

Subtract 12 from both sides :

↠ 4y < 32 - 12

↠ 4y < 20

Divide both sides by 4 :

↠ y < 5

Therefore, y < 5; option a is correct.
