5-9y-2y<27
The solution set is {y|y>blank}
5 - 9y - 2y < 27
we just solve it like a normal equation.
5 - 11y < 27
-11y < 27 - 5
-11y < 22
y > -2
note that when dividing both sides by a negative number, the inequality sign becomes its opposite. like here, both sides are divided by -11, and thus the sign changes from < to >.
hope this helps~ :)
