Solve the inequality for y.

15 - 4y <= - 5

9 answers

First, isolate the variable y by moving the constant terms to the other side of the inequality:

-4y <= -20

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by -4 to solve for y:

y >= 5

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is y >= 5.
Solve the inequality for y.
- 36 > 6y - 12
First, isolate the variable y by moving the constant terms to the other side of the inequality:

- 24 > 6y

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 6 to solve for y:

-4 > y

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is y < -4.
Solve the inequality for w.
7 < - 17 - 4w
First, isolate the variable w by moving the constant terms to the other side of the inequality:

7 < -17 - 4w

Add 17 to both sides:

7 + 17 < -17 + 17 - 4w
24 < -4w

Divide both sides by -4 to solve for w:

w > -6

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is w > -6.
that's wrong
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's correct that solution:

To solve the inequality for w, first isolate the variable w by moving the constant terms to the other side:

7 < -17 - 4w

Add 17 to both sides:

7 + 17 < -17 + 17 - 4w
24 < -4w

Divide both sides by -4 while reversing the inequality sign since you are dividing by a negative number:

24 / -4 > w
-6 > w

Therefore, the correct solution to the inequality is w < -6. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.
Solve the inequality for u.
- 4u + 22 >= 6
To solve the inequality for u, we follow these steps:

1. First, isolate the variable u by moving the constant terms to the other side of the inequality:

-4u + 22 >= 6

Subtract 22 from both sides to move the constant term to the other side:

-4u >= 6 - 22
-4u >= -16

2. Next, divide both sides by -4 to solve for u. Remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number:

u <= -16 / -4
u <= 4

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is u <= 4.
