Exercise 31 Page 150

Substitute - 1 into the given inequality and then simplify.

No.

Practice makes perfect
We can determine whether - 1 is a solution by substituting it into the inequality and simplifying.
7 - 2y > 3y + 13
1 - 2 ( - 1) ? > 3( - 1) + 13
1 + 2 ? > 3(- 1) + 13
1 + 2 ? > - 3 + 13
3 > 10 *
Since 3 is not greater than 10, - 1 is not a solution.
