Question

Determine the value of y in the inequality.

18 + 6y < 42

Answer 1

y<4

Explanation:

18+6y<42

Subtract 18 from both sides.

6y<42−18

Subtract 18 from 42 to get 24.

6y<24

Divide both sides by 6. Since 6 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

`y < (24)/(6)`

Divide 24 by 6 to get 4.

y<4

Answer 2

y<4

Steps:

18 + 6y < 42

6y < 42 - 18

y < 24/6

y < 4
