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:
- From the original inequality \( y - 14 < -25 \)
- 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:
- Add 14 to both sides of the inequality.
- y < -11
- Open circle, shade left.
