can you help me figure out 6-3y>8-5y?

Question

thanks

Answer 1

5y - 3y > 8 - 6
2y > 2
y > 1

Answer 2

y>1

Answer 3

sure i can help you

6-3y>8-5y

ok, the first thing you do is add the 3y to the -5y on the other side of the equation
rewrite the equation

6 > 8 - 2y
now subtract the 8 from the 6 on the other side of the equation
rewrite it

-2 > -2y
now divide (remember that when you are dividing the variable by a negative number, you switch the sign)

1
there you go!

Answer 4

Treat it like a linear equation.

What are we looking for? We are looking for y.

6 - 3y > 8 - 5y...This is read "six minus three times y is greater than eight minus five times y"

Combine like terms and simplify.

6 - 8 > 3y - 5y

-2 > -2y

Divide both sides of the inequality by -2. Since we are dividing by a NEGATIVE number, we change the DIRECTION of the inequality sign.

-2/-2 < y

1 < y

Done!

What does the answer 1 < y really mean?

It means, that in order to make your original question a TRUE statement, the value of y MUST BE BIGGER than 1.

Okay?

Answer 5

6 - 3y > 8 - 5y
-3y +5y >8 - 6
2y > 2
y > 1

Answer 6

6 - 3y > 8 - 5y
5y - 3y > 8 - 6
2y > 2
y >1

EZ Algebra

Answer 7

well first add 5y to both sides and this will give
6+2y>8
then -6 from both sides
2y>2
simplify to:
y>1

Answer 8

6-3y>8-5y
thus...2y>2...so y>1..taht is value of y lies between i and positive infinity

Answer 9

2y>2
y>1

Answer 10

i'll give u a hint.. i dont believe in telling ppl the answers.. but change the > to an = and then sovle .. then change back when done.
