Question

See if you can solve this equation 4y + 7 < 15.

Answer 1

y < 2

Explanation:

4y+7<15

Subtract 7 from both sides.

4y<15−7

Subtract 7 from 15 to get 8.

4y<8

Divide both sides by 4. Since 4 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

y<
`(8)/(4)`

Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.

y<2
