Solve the following inequality. 8 - 5y > 23 question options: y > 3 y < 3 y > -3 y < -3

y < -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, y. Treat the > sign like an equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

8 - 5y > 23

Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

First, subtract 8 from both sides

8 (-8) - 5y > 23 (-8)

-5y > 23 - 8

-5y > 15

Isolate the variable. Divide -5 from both sides. Note that when dividing a negative number from both sides, you must flip the sign.

(-5y)/-5 > (15)/-5

y < 15/-5

y < -3

y < -3 is your answer

~

no this is a nonlinear negative

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
