Question

Which is the solution set of the inequality 15y-9 < 36

y>9/5

y<9/5

y < 3

y>3

Answer 1

y<3

Explanation:

Answer 2

In solving for the solution set of the inequality 15y - 9 < 36, much like any other algebraic equation, the first step should be to isolate y. This is done as follows:

15y - 9 < 36

Adding 9 to both sides of the equation:
15y - 9 + 9 < 36 + 9
15y < 45

Dividing both sides by 15 to isolate y:
15y/15 < 45/15
y < 3

Therefore the answer is the third choice y < 3.
