Can you show me how to solve this problem? 5y + 4y ¡Ü -54
That is the less than or equal to sign
5y + 4y ≤ -54
9y ≤ -54
y ≤ -6
Now, how easy was that?
Of course! To solve the inequality 5y + 4y ≤ -54, we need to isolate the variable y.
First, let's combine the like terms on the left side of the inequality. The sum of 5y and 4y is equal to 9y. Therefore, our inequality becomes:
9y ≤ -54
To isolate y, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 9 (since we want y to be alone on one side). This gives us:
y ≤ -6
So, the solution to the inequality 5y + 4y ≤ -54 is y ≤ -6. This means that any value of y that is less than or equal to -6 would satisfy the inequality.
