Hey there!

63 > 7y

7y < 63

DIVIDE 7 to BOTH SIDES

7y/7 < 63/7

SIMPLIFY IT

y < 63/7

y < 9


You have an open circle starting at 9 and going down to left side of the number line.

Therefore, your answer should beD

y < 9


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer:

y < 9

Explanation:

Hello!

We can solve the inequality for y by dividing both sides by 7.

Remember, when dividing or multiplying both sides of an inequality with a negative number, make sure to flip the sign. Since 7 is positive, we don't have to flip the sign.

Solve the Inequality

  • 63 > 7y
  • 63/7 = 7y/7
  • 9 > y

So the inequality is true for all y values less than 9.
