Question

Which of the following represents the inequality for the difference of y and 17 is less than or equal to 134.

17 - y > 134
y - 17 ≤ 134
y - 17 > 134
17 - y ≥ 134

Answer 1

Option B

represents the inequality for the difference of y and 17 is less than or equal to 134.

Solution:

Given that we have to find the inequality

Given statement is:

The difference of y and 17 is less than or equal to 134

So we can say that, difference between y and 17 is less than or equal to 134

Difference means subtraction. So we have to subtract 17 from y, which is less than or equal to 134

Thus a inequality is framed as:

Difference means subtraction. So use the subtraction symbol " - "

"Less than or equal to" is represented by symbol

Thus the inequality is found

Answer 2

Option B

`y - 17\leq 134` represents the inequality for the difference of y and 17 is less than or equal to 134.

Solution:

Given that we have to find the inequality

Given statement is:

The difference of y and 17 is less than or equal to 134

So we can say that, difference between y and 17 is less than or equal to 134

Difference means subtraction. So we have to subtract 17 from y, which is less than or equal to 134

Thus a inequality is framed as:

`\text{difference between y and 17} \leq 134`

Difference means subtraction. So use the subtraction symbol " - "

"Less than or equal to" is represented by symbol
`\leq`

`y - 17\leq 134`

Thus the inequality is found
