Practice Skills_ Simplifying Inequality1. 3( 1/2 - y) = 3/5 + 15y. What isthe solution to the given inequality?

Answer 1

3( 1/2 - y) = 3/5 + 15y

Applying distributive property:

3*1/2 - 3y = 3/5 + 15y

3/2 - 3y = 3/5 + 15y

3/5 is adding on the right, then it will subtract on the left

3y is adding on the left, then it will subtract on the right

3/2 - 3/5 = 15y + 3y

15/10 - 6/10 = 18y

9/10 = 18y

18 is multiplying on the right, then it will divide on the left

9/10*1/18 = y

1/10*1/2 = y

1/20 = y
