(a) y >_ 13
(b) x > 17.5
Explanations:
(a)
24.2 - y <_ 11.2
- y <_ 11.2 - 24.2
-y <_ -13
y >_ 13
(b)
- 12.5 + x > 5
x > 5 + 12.5
x > 17.5
(<_ means “less than or equal to” and >_ means “greater than or equal to”)
This isn't an answer, rather a suggestion. I would use the website desmos to help me. But for future reference I can help you.
f(x) = - x+6 is similar to y=-x+6.
Simply plug in random numbers into the variable x (preferably ones that could fit on your paper like 0,1,2,3...)
