Algebra.Com's Answer #534032 by DrBeeee(684)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given: \n" ); document.write( "(1) 10 > 5x - 2y \n" ); document.write( "Now add 2y to each side of (1) to get \n" ); document.write( "(2) 2y + 10 > 5x \n" ); document.write( "Now subtract 10 from each side of (2) and get \n" ); document.write( "(3) 2y > 5x - 10 \n" ); document.write( "Now divide both sides of (3) by +2 and get \n" ); document.write( "(4) y > (5/2)x - 5 \n" ); document.write( "The solution is all values of y that lie ABOVE the straight line, \n" ); document.write( "(5) y = (5/2)x - 5 \n" ); document.write( "The line itself is not in the solution and is drawn as a dotted line when graphed. \n" ); document.write( "Note: None of the above algebraic steps require us to reverse the inequality sign. \n" ); document.write( " |
