Question

What is the solution of the inequality shown
below?
y+7<-1

Answer 1

y < -8

Explanation:

To solve an inequality, we must get the variable, y, isolated on one side of the inequality.

`y+7 < -1`

7 is being added to the variable, y. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 7 from both sides of the inequality.

`y+7-7< -1-7`

`y < -1-7`

`y < -8`

The solution to the inequality is: y< -8

Answer 2

y<-8

Explanation:

y<-1 - 7

y<-8
