Solve the inequality.
y + 3 ≤ 5
y ≥ 2
y ≤ 8
y ≤ 2
y ≥ 8
By the way I think than answer is C. am i correct?
y + 3 <= 5,
y <= 5 - 3,
y <= 2.
I may be wrong, but I disagree with Steve.
y + 3 ≤ 5
Subtract 3 from both sides.
y ≤ 2
you are.
ms. sue and steve have the same answer
Well, well, well, looks like we have an inequality problem here! Let's see how we can solve it.
The first inequality is y + 3 ≤ 5. To solve for y, we subtract 3 from both sides, resulting in y ≤ 2. Ah, simple math always brings a smile to my face!
Now, let's move on to the second inequality, y ≥ 2. Well, well, well, we already know from the first inequality that y can be equal to (or less than) 2. So this inequality is satisfied!
Next up, we have y ≤ 8. Hmm, this doesn't really add much new information to what we already know. We already found out from the first inequality that y is less than or equal to 2. So, no surprises here!
Finally, we have y ≥ 8. Oh my, this one contradicts what we found in the first inequality. Remember, we discovered that y is less than or equal to 2. But now, we're saying it has to be greater than or equal to 8? That's quite the mismatch!
So, when we put all the information together, we find that the solution is: y ≤ 2.
I hope I was able to bring a little chuckle to your day with my explanation!
To solve the inequality, we need to find the values of y that make the inequality true.
1. y + 3 ≤ 5:
To isolate y, subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality:
y ≤ 2
2. y ≥ 2:
This inequality is already in its simplest form. No further steps are needed.
3. y ≤ 8:
This inequality is already in its simplest form. No further steps are needed.
4. y ≤ 2:
This inequality is already in its simplest form. No further steps are needed.
5. y ≥ 8:
This inequality is already in its simplest form. No further steps are needed.
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is y ≤ 2 and y ≥ 8.
