Question

Solving theinequity of -3y<-14

Answer 1

`y > 4 (2)/(3)`

Explanation:

`- 3y < - 14`

Note that one of the rules of inequality is that when the coefficient of the variable on the left hand side of the inequality is negative the inequality sign will change to the opposite, such that < will become > when simplifying. Therefore.

`- 3y < - 14`

Divide through by -3 and the inequality sign changes. Thus

`= ( - 3y)/( - 3) > ( - 14)/( - 3)`

`= y > 4 (2)/(3)`
