Question

What is the solution to this inequality 6 - 5y < -34

Answer 1

Answer: y > 8

Explanation:

6 - 5y < -34

-5y < -40

y > 8

Answer 2

`6-5y < -34`

Simplify:

`-5y+6 < -34`

Subtract 6 from both sides:

`-5y+6-6 < -34-6`

`-5y < -40`

Since we are dividing by a negative number, the sign will reverse.

Divide both sides by -5:

`(-5y)/(-5) > (-40)/(-5)`

`\boxed{y > 8}`
