SOME people replace “<”, “>”, “≥”, or “≤” as an equal sign (=) to make it easier to solve
14 + 3y < 65 14 + 3y = 65
SUBTRACT by 14 on both of your sides 3y + 14 - 14 = 65 - 14 CANCEL out: 14 - 14 because that gives you 0 KEEP: 65 - 14 because it helps you solve for “y”
**65 - 14 = 51**
NEW EQUATION: 3y = 51
DIVIDE by 3 both of your sides 3y/3 = 51/3 CANCEL out: 3/3 because that gives you 1 KEEP: 51/3 because it gives you the value of “y”
NEW EQUATION: y = 51/3
**51/3 = 17**
Answer: y = 17 ☑️
☑️ OVERALL ANSWER FOR YOU: y < 17 ☑️ NOTE: it’s an OPEN circle SHADED to the LEFT
