8-3 greater than 4-2y

Answer 1

8-3 greater than 4-2y

5 > 4 - 2y

1 > -2y

- 1/2 > y

Answer 2

5 > 4 - 2 y
1 > -2 y
divide by -2, when you multiply or divide by a negative, change direction of arrow

- 1/2 < y

so
y > -1/2

now check that by picking some y which is greater than (to the right of on number line) -1/2
like maybe -1/4
8 - 3 > 4 - 2(-1/4) ????
5 > 4 + 1/2 yes

Answer 3
