1 answer

Let's break down each question step-by-step:

Question 1

Consider the inequality: \[ y - 14 < -25 \]

To solve this inequality, we need to isolate \( y \). The appropriate step is: Add 14 to both sides of the inequality.

Question 2

Now let's solve the inequality:

  1. From the original inequality \( y - 14 < -25 \)
  2. Adding 14 to both sides gives us: \[ y - 14 + 14 < -25 + 14 \] \[ y < -11 \]

The solution to the inequality is: y < -11

Question 3

The solution \( y < -11 \) means that \( y \) can take any value less than -11. When graphing this inequality:

  • You would use an open circle at -11 (since -11 is not included in the solution).
  • You would shade left to represent all the values less than -11.

The correct way to graph the solution is: Open circle, shade left.

Summary of Responses:

  1. Add 14 to both sides of the inequality.
  2. y < -11
  3. Open circle, shade left.
