Question

Help with my homework pls Solve the compound inequality y + 7 ≥ –1 and y∕4 + 3 ≤ 5.

Answer 1

Answer:

  -8 ≤ y ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 7 from the first one:

  y ≥ -8

Subtract 3 from the second one, then multiply by 4.

  y/4 ≤ 2

  y ≤ 8

Now, you can write these as a compound inequality:

  -8 ≤ y ≤ 8

Additional comment

You basically solve these the same way you would an equation. The only difference is that multiplying or dividing by a negative number will reverse the inequality symbol:

  2 > 1

  -2 < -1 . . . . . multiplied above by -1.
