Kirk solves the inequality 5<12y−7. Which statement explains the steps he uses to find the solution set of the inequality?(1 point)
Kirk adds 7 to both sides of the inequality and solves for y to find the solution set.
To find the solution set of the inequality 5 < 12y - 7, Kirk follows these steps:
1. The first step is to isolate the variable term. Kirk does this by adding 7 to both sides of the inequality:
5 + 7 < 12y - 7 + 7
This simplifies to:
12 < 12y
2. Next, Kirk divides both sides of the inequality by 12 to solve for y:
12/12 < 12y/12
This simplifies to:
1 < y
So Kirk finds that the solution set of the inequality is y > 1.
