Question

For what values of y:s the value of the fraction 4.5−2y/5 less than the value of the fraction 2−3y/10 ?

Answer 1

7 < y

Explanation:

The relation you're interested in is ...

(4.5 -2y)/5 < (2 -3y)/10

9 -4y < 2 -3y . . . . . . . . . multiply by 10

7 < y . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 4y-2

The value of the first fraction will be less than that of the second fraction for values of y greater than 7.
