solve
y-8> -20
I get 28 am I correct?
Sorry, 28 is not correct.
In any case, for an equality, the whole inequality has to be included in the answer because y could be greater than or less than the answer value.
Add 8 to each side of the inequality and see what happens.
Then I get 12
12 is not correct.
"In any case, for an equality, the whole inequality has to be included in the answer because y could be greater than or less than the answer value."
Therefore a single number for an inequality is always incorrect!
8-20=?
To solve the inequality y - 8 > -20, you need to isolate the variable y on one side of the inequality sign.
First, add 8 to both sides of the inequality to cancel out the -8 on the left side:
y - 8 + 8 > -20 + 8
This simplifies to:
y > -12
So the solution to the inequality is y > -12.
Based on your calculation, you obtained y = 28, not -12. Therefore, your answer is incorrect.
