Question

What is 2y > 4 simplified

Answer 1

Divide both sides by 2:

`2y>4\rightarrow(2y)/(2)>(4)/(2)\rightarrow y>2`

Note: Remember that dividing or multiplying by a negative number turns the inequality around! In this case we divided by a positive number, so it stayed the same.

This way, the simplified expression would be:

`y>2`
