Question

Solve the inequality. 5y − 13 < 5(y + 3)

Answer 1

Hi there!

We're asked to solve the inequality:

`\sf{5y-13 < 5(y+3)}`

First, distribute 5:

`\sf{5y-13 < 5y+15}`

Next, add 13 to both sides

`\sf{5y < 5y+15+13}`

`\sf{5y < 5y+28}`

Subtract 5y from both sides:

`\sf{0y < 28}`

`\sf{0 < 28}`

Since 0 really is less than x, this inequality has infinite solutions.

Answer 2

Answer: 0>28

Explanation:

Do parentheses first.

Add 13 to both sides.

Subtract 5y from both sides.

And you get your answer!

I hope this helps!
