Question

Solve the inequality 4y + 3 > 2y + 14

Answer 1

y > 5.5

Explanation:

4y + 3 > 2y + 14

First, subtract 2y by both sides.

4y - 2y + 3 > 14

2y + 3 > 14

Subtract 3 by both sides.

2y > 14 - 3

2y > 11

Divide both sides by 2.

y > 11/2

y > 5.5

Answer 2

y>5.5

Explanation:

4y + 3 > 2y + 14

Solve the inequality

Subtract 2y from each side

4y-2y + 3 > 2y-2y + 14

2y+3> 14

Subtract 2 from each side

2y+3-3 >14-3

2y >11

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 >11/2

y>5.5
