Question 4.

Solve 3y – 2 > 5

Answer 1

`y>(7)/(3)`

Explanation:

Solving an inequality is a lot like solving an equation, one uses inverse operations. The major difference between solving an inequality and an equation is that when one multiplies or divides by a negative number, then one must remember to flip the inequality sign, such a rule doesn't come into play in this case.

3y - 2 > 5

Inverse operations,

3y - 2 > 5

+2 +2

3y > 7

/3 /3

`y>(7)/(3)`
