Question

Solve the inequality: 25 + 5y<3x.

a) y < (3/5)x - 5
b) y< (3/5)x - 5
c) y < (3/5)x + 5
d) y < (3/5)x + 5

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 25 + 5y < 3x, subtract 25 from both sides and then divide both sides by 5 to isolate y. The correct answer is y < (3/5)x - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality 25 + 5y < 3x, we want to isolate y on one side of the inequality.

First, we subtract 25 from both sides of the inequality:

5y < 3x - 25

Next, we divide both sides by 5:

y < (3/5)x - 5

So, the correct answer is option a) y < (3/5)x - 5.
