Chapter 3: Q. 6 (page 151)

Solve the inequality. Graph and check your solution.
$10 > 6 + \frac{y}{5}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

Solution of the inequality is $y < 20$ .

Step by step solution

Step-1- Solve the inequality

$10 > 6 + \frac{y}{5}$

Subtract 6 from both the sides.

$\begin{matrix} 10 - 6 > 6 - 6 + \frac{y}{5} \\ 4 > \frac{y}{5} \end{matrix}$

Multiply both sides by 5.

$\begin{matrix} 4 \times 5 > \frac{y}{5} \times 5 \\ 20 > y \\ y < 20 \end{matrix}$

Step-2- Graph the inequality

The solution of the inequality is $y < 20$ .

That means, all values $y < 20$ satisfy the inequality. So, the graph can be given as shown below.

Step-3- Check the solution

To check the solution, take any random number, $y < 20$ and substitute in the original inequality and observe the result.

Take $y = 0$ .

Then,

$\begin{matrix} 10 > 6 + \frac{0}{5} \\ 10 > 6 + 0 \\ 10 > 6 \end{matrix}$

The result $10 > 6$ is true. So, the solution is correct. $y < 20$
