Question

Is y = 5 a solution to the inequality below?

y > 4

Answer 1

Answer: Yes and it could be greater than 5 but it has to be greater than 4

:

Answer 2

Yes

Explanation:

y > 4

Y is greater than 4 which means whatever the value of y is, we know that it is greater than four. Which means y = 5 is indeed a solution to the inequality shown, or "yes."

Now if the inequality shown:

y < 4
We know that y is less than 4, so y = 5 is not a possible solution for the inequality.

Hope this helps.
