Y over -6 > 10 and i need to solve
A. y < –16
B. y > –60
C. y > 4
D. y < –60 I got C, but that's not right
y/-6 > 10
y < -60
Looks like D
When you multiply be a negative value, change the direction of the inequality. It's just a shorthand way to make things switch sides. Since
y/-6 > 10
that's the same as
-y/6 > 10
add y/6 to both sides to get
0 > 10 + y/6
now subtract 10 to get
-10 > y/6
now multiply by 6 to get
-60 > y
or
y < -60
Thank you so much I have put your info into my notes....
To solve the inequality -6y > 10, you need to divide both sides of the inequality by -6. However, since you are dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign will flip.
Step 1: Divide both sides by -6:
-6y > 10
y < 10/-6
Step 2: Simplify the right side:
y < -5/3
Therefore, the correct answer is A. y < -5/3. Since the inequality sign flipped when dividing by a negative number, "less than" is used instead of "greater than."
