Answer:

y<-5

Your Interval Notation would be an open circle and the arrow would be pointing to the left. (<-- (-6) --- (-5) --- (-4) -->) This will be your # line.

Explanation:

9y+5(y+3) < 4y-35

1) Distribute the 5 in 5(y+3).

9y+5y+15 < 4y-35

2) Combine like terms. 9y and 5y.

9y+5y= 14y

14y+15 < 4y-35

3) MY TIP is to keep the variables on the left side, bc if you don't at the end you will have to flip the sign. so.. Subtract 4y from both sides

14y+15 < 4y-35

-4 -4

10y+15 < -35

3) Then you will subtract 15 from both sides

10y+15 < -35

-15 -15

10y < -50

4) Last is to divide to get your variable by itself.

10y < -50

÷10 ÷10

Answer : y < -5

Interval Solution: Open circle, -5 in the middle of the line and you will shade in the numbers to the left. .
