solve the inequality -4y + 6< -14.?

Question

A. y >2
B. y <5
C. y_<5
D. Y >5

Answer 1

-4y + 6 < -14

subtracting 6 from both sides yields

-4y < -20

dividing both sides by -4 yields*

y > 5


*Don't forget to switch < to > when you divide by a negative number

Answer 2

Solving for " y "

The inequality Equation

- 4y + 6 < - 14

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- 4y + 6< -14

- 6 - 6

Subtracting -6 from both sides of the inequality

- 4y < - 14 + ( - 6)

- 4y < - 20

-4y/-4 >- 20/-4

Dividing - 4 from both sides of the inequality. When dividing a inequality with a negative sign ( - ) the inequality sign changes from < to >

y > 5

The answer is " D " y > 5

Answer 3

B. y < 5

Answer 4

An inequality solves the same as an equality except for one thing. When you divide by a NEGATIVE, you switch the sign.

-4y + 6 < -14
-4y < -20

Here is where it is different. You need to divide both sides by -4, right? But like I said above, when you divide by a negative, you switch the sign to the opposite of what it is.

y > 5

Answer 5

B) y<5

Solve:

-4y + 6 < -14

subtract six from both sides, so

-4y < -20 (when you subtract from a negative number, that's adding two negatives; -14 + (-6) = -20)

and divide both sides by -4, leaving you with

y < 5 (read: y is less than 5)

Have a great day!

Answer 6

-4y + 6 < -14

1) Subtract 6 from both sides: -4y < -20
2) Divide by -4 on both sides and turn the inequality sign around:

Answer: D) y > 5

Answer 7

-4y + 6 < -14 (Subtract 6 from both sides)
-4y < -20 (Divide both sides by -4 and switch < to >
y > 5 so the correct answer is D.

Answer 8

You *are* in deep s**t, aren't you?

-4y + 6 < -14 Subtract 6 from each side
-4y < -20 Divide both sides by -4 and reverse the inequality
y > 5
