Question 16
InequalitiesThe value of y for which (1/5)y + 1/5 < (1/2)y + 2/5 is
- A.y > 2/3
- B.y < 2/3
- C.y > −2/3
- D.y < −2/3
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C (y > −2/3)
Explanation
Multiply by 10: 2y + 2 < 5y + 4, so −3y < 2 and y > −2/3.
The value of y for which (1/5)y + 1/5 < (1/2)y + 2/5 is
Answer: C (y > −2/3)
Multiply by 10: 2y + 2 < 5y + 4, so −3y < 2 and y > −2/3.
