Hello there!
y + 15 < 3
Start by subtracting 15 on both sides
y + 15 - 15 < 3 - 15
y < -12
As always, it is my pleasure to help you guys on here. Let me know if you have any questions.
Answer:
y ≤ -5
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 4, b = -21, c = -18
to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...
b<sup>2</sup> - 4ac = (-21)<sup>2</sup> - 4(4)(-18) = 729
sqrt(729) = 27
x = (21 +/- 27)/8
x = -3/4, x = 6
since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...
4x<sup>2</sup> - 21x - 18 = 0
(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0
x = -3/4, x = 6
