Question

What is the answer to this equation?

-3y > -14

Answer 1

y < 14/3

Explanation:

You can immediately negate the negative from both sides by canceling the -1.

Divide both sides by 3, when you divide a < or > by anything you have to switch the sign it faces. So in this case

-3y > -14

=> 3y < 14

y < 14/3
