Solve the inequality above. Part 2: Describe the graph of the solution

Question

-4y + 17<29

Answer 1

The inequality is -4y + 17 < 29.

Subtract 17 from each side.

-4y + 17 - 17 < 29 - 17

-4y < 12

Divide each side by negative 4 and reverse the inequality symbol.

(-4y)/(-4) > (12)/(-4)

y > -3.

The solution of the inequality is y > -3 and its graph is

From the graph, the open circle means that -3 does not solution of the inequality.
