Question

Solve using the addition principle. 3y - 11 ≤ 2y - 2

Answer 1

`y \leqslant 9`

Explanation:

`3y - 11 \leqslant 2y - 2 \\ 3y - 2y \leqslant 11 - 2 \\ y \leqslant 9`

Answer 2

y ≤ 9

Explanation:

3y - 11 ≤ 2y - 2

Subtract 2y from each side

3y-2y - 11 ≤ 2y-2y - 2

y - 11 ≤ - 2

Add 11 to each side

y - 11+11 ≤ - 2+11

y ≤ 9
