Question

12>-4y+7 I cant figure it out

Answer 1

y > -5/4

Explanation:

12 > -4y + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides:

5 > -4y

Divide both sides by -4 (remember to flip the sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number):

-5/4 < y

Here's another way to solve it. First, add 4y to both sides.

12 + 4y > 7

Subtract 12 from both sides:

4y > -5

Divide by 4:

y > -5/4
