write an inequality with the same meaning as -5 ¡Ý y
would that be -5 ¡Ý 5 ??
This looks like greek to me.
my sign changed when I posted my question, I had -5 is equal to or greater than Y
my answer was Y= -4 but i think i got it now it should be Y= -11 not -4 right ?
-5 >= y
There is no way to tell what y equals.
The inequality -5 >= y means that -5 is greater than or equal to y. To rewrite this inequality with the same meaning, we can switch the position of -5 and y and keep the same inequality symbol.
So, the equivalent inequality would be y <= -5. This means that y is less than or equal to -5.
Now, let's address your other question. If the inequality is -5 >= y, it does not tell us the exact value of y. It only tells us that y is less than or equal to -5. In this case, y can be any value that is less than or equal to -5, so y could be -11, -6, -5, or any other number less than or equal to -5. However, y could not be -4, because -4 is not less than or equal to -5.
