3y - 1 < 3

Isolate the y. Treat the less than or equal like an equal sign.

Do the opposite of PEMDAS. First, add 1 to both sides

3y - 1 (+1) < 3 (+1)

3y < 4

Next, divide 3 from both sides

3y/3 < 4/3

y < 4/3

y < 4/3 is your answer

hope this helps

Hello! For this question, we will have to subtract fractions. In order to do this, we will have to convert the fractions into the same denominator. We do this by finding the LCD of the two numbers. In other words, we find the LCM. The LCM of 5 and 4 is 20. 4/5 converts to 16/20, and 1/4 converts to 5/20. Let's subtract these numbers like we would regular numbers. 6 16/20 - 3 5/20 is 3 11/20. There. Jordan bought 3 11/20 yards more pink ribbon than purple ribbon.
