please help me with this question.
please explain this question to me and how you got the answer to the question.
Solve the inequality.
> 10
A. y < –16
B. y > –60
C. y > 4
D. y < –60
Is that the whole problem. I'm pretty sure that there is more than > 10. If you can post that again I'm sure that I can help you.
its
y/6 then >10
Thank you Amber.
y/6 > 10
Quick answer: D. y < -60
Full solution: y/6 > 10. We multiply 6 to both sides, so we get y < 60. We see that y < 60 is not a choice, so we multiply -1 to y < 60 to keep the new inequality equivalent to the old inequality, getting y > -60, because the inequality sign "flips" when you multiply by a negative number.
thank you so much sheenybeany! You really helped me a lot!
Whoahh there Sheenybeany
if the inequality is
y/6 > 10
then
y > 60
Why did you reverse the inequality sign?
It is reversed only if you multiply or divide by a negative.
Since we simply multiplied by 6, it stays the same.
Since y > 60 is not one of the choices, we either have some typo, or the question is bogus.
To solve the inequality > 10, we need to find the range of values that satisfy this condition. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Start with the given inequality: > 10
This sign ">" denotes "greater than". So, we are looking for values that are greater than 10.
Step 2: Simplify the inequality.
Since there are no other terms or variables involved, there is nothing to simplify further.
Step 3: Determine the range of values that satisfy the inequality.
As the inequality states that the values need to be "greater than" 10, any value that is larger than 10 will satisfy the condition.
Step 4: Express the range of values in an answer choice format.
Let's analyze the options:
A. y < –16: This option states that y needs to be less than -16, which doesn't fit the condition of y being greater than 10. So, this option can be eliminated.
B. y > –60: This option states that y needs to be greater than -60, which also satisfies the condition of the original inequality.
C. y > 4: This option states that y needs to be greater than 4, which satisfies the condition of the original inequality.
D. y < –60: This option states that y needs to be less than -60, which again doesn't fit the condition of y being greater than 10. So, this option can also be eliminated.
Therefore, the answer is B. y > –60 and C. y > 4 as both options satisfy the inequality > 10.
