Question

Solve. −8y ≥ 56 y ≤ 7 y ≥ 7 y ≥ –7 y ≤ −7

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (d)   y ≤ -7

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is found by dividing by the coefficient of y. Since that is a negative number, the sense of the comparison is reversed.

  -8y ≥ 56

  (-8y)/(-8) ≤ 56/(-8)

  y ≤ -7
