Question

How do you solve `-\frac { 4} { 3} y + 15> 11`?

Answer 1

`color(blue)(y < 3)`

Explanation:

Multiply by -3 to clear fraction and remove negation from y. REMEMBER to reverse inequality sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number:

`4y - 45 < -33`

Add 45 to both sides:

`4y < 12`

Divide both sides by 4:

`color(blue)(y < 3)`
