Let's see if y=0 is a solution for the inequality y%3C5.


y%3C5 Start with the given inequality.


%280%29%3C5 Plug in y=0.


Since the inequality is true, this means that y=0 is a solution.



Let's see if y=5 is a solution for the inequality y%3C5.


y%3C5 Start with the given inequality.


%285%29%3C5 Plug in y=5.



Since the inequality is not true, this means that y=5 is not a solution.




Let's see if y=-1 is a solution for the inequality y%3C5.


y%3C5 Start with the given inequality.


%28-1%29%3C5 Plug in y=-1.


Since the inequality is true, this means that y=-1 is a solution.





Let's see if y=-5 is a solution for the inequality y%3C5.


y%3C5 Start with the given inequality.


%28-5%29%3C5 Plug in y=-5.


-5%3C5 Evaluate and simplify the left side.


Since the inequality is true, this means that y=-5 is a solution.






Answer:

So every number except 5 is a solution to y%3C5. The answer choices are A, C and D
