I am trying to find the solution for y-9>-17 and I don't know where to start. i have been out of school for nearly 30 years and none of the info makes any sense. please help..thanks
Add 9 to both sides.
y > 9 + (-17)
y > - 8
To make this sentence true i have to put <,>,or = in between ( ) the given fractions or Decimals?
7/20 ( ) 2/5
0.15 ( ) 1/8
Please explain?
I'd be happy to help you with your question!
To solve the inequality y - 9 > -17, you'll need to isolate the variable y, just like you would if it was an equation. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how to solve it:
Step 1: Add 9 to both sides of the inequality:
y - 9 + 9 > -17 + 9
This simplifies to:
y > -8
So the solution to the inequality is y > -8. This means that any value of y that is greater than -8 would make the inequality true.
Now, let's understand the steps in more detail:
Step 1: Add 9 to both sides of the inequality:
When we add 9 to both sides, we're trying to isolate the variable y by getting rid of the constant term (-9) on the left side of the inequality.
On the right side, -17 + 9 simplifies to -8. So the new inequality becomes y > -8.
Step 2 (Optional): Simplify further (if needed):
In this case, we don't need to simplify further because we've isolated y.
The solution to the inequality y - 9 > -17 is y > -8. This means that any value of y that is greater than -8 will satisfy the inequality.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
