Question

5≤y+20<16
Write your answer as a compound inequality with integers.

Answer 1

To solve the compound inequality $5\le y+20<16$, we can break it down into two parts.

1. Solve the left part: $$5\le y+20$$ Subtract 20 from both sides: $$5-20\le y$$ $$-15\le y$$ This can also be written as: $$y\ge -15$$

2. Solve the right part: $$y+20<16$$ Subtract 20 from both sides: $$y<16-20$$ $$y<-4$$

Now we can combine the inequalities: $$-15\le y<-4$$

Thus, the final answer as a compound inequality is: $$-15\le y<-4$$
